Mr. Speaker, this government's action plan has addressed the issue of smuggling. We have addressed and acknowledged that smuggling is not limited to tobacco. This plan is set out with that focus in mind: to address all aspects of tobacco, alcohol, guns, whatever. We are increasing enforcement by 25 per cent. The bill allows certain sections of enforcement to be expanded and given to designated police forces to assist in combating smuggling, not just of tobacco but of alcohol and other items as well.
In the House of Commons on February 22nd, 1994. See this statement in context.
