No, of course not. I think it was something an NDP member raised in that committee. It is just impossible to do.
If the government wants to outlaw smoking, fine. Compensate my tobacco farmers for the value of their farms and for the value of their future livelihoods and do it.
Governments are quite hypocritical in this area. On the one hand they want all that big cash and on the other they say to my tobacco farmers that they are doing a nasty and dirty thing. That is not the case. All governments have to get off the pot on this question and make a decision. If they want to outlaw smoking then compensate my farmers. Allow my farmers to get on with their livelihoods rather than slowly strangle them to death.
