Mr. Speaker, we are determined to end the smuggling network. That was the reason for bringing down the prices on cigarettes.
While we realize some alcohol is coming through the same network it is certainly not the same size of a problem, although it is a problem. We are convinced we will win against the networks in the law and order problem we are addressing.
When it comes to sales to young persons, liquor is not a product that can be sold to young people anywhere in the country. It is not legal now. In terms of sales of tobacco products to young people, we are trying to establish the same kind of limits. Then everyone knows it is just as illegal to sell tobacco to young people under the age of 18 as it is to sell alcohol to them. That is the basis of the changes we have brought forward. It is very important that all the people of Canada co-operate in this matter.
