Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
The Prime Minister said yesterday that he was ready to consider lowering taxes on tobacco products, unilaterally if he had to, in order to put an end to the smuggling that is causing problems in Quebec and Ontario and the Minister of Finance declared that lower taxes would help stop the smuggling.
I ask the minister if she concurs with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance on the necessity of lowering those taxes?
