Mr. Speaker, that is a very difficult, tough question. I guess a way that I would try to answer that is that the number of smugglers is low. The people who are cheating the system and who are developing this market are few, whether native Indians, white Anglo-Saxons, Chinese or American. We are not focusing on capturing the criminals. Where they sell the smuggled cigarettes is into a marketplace that a lot of Canadians have been willing to go because of the overspending of government after government after government, Liberals, Conservatives and now back again to Liberals. Instead of people going to
the store and paying somebody $48 a carton they will buy it if somebody shows up at $22.
To solve that problem, take the profit out of it and we have it cured. If there is a health problem, there are ways that we can solve the health problem. If alcohol becomes a problem, we can solve that problem. It is not the honest farmers who are causing the problem. It is the few and minor elements of society that are making the many in society look bad and they are holding up the many in society to ransom.
I hope I have answered the question somewhat.
