Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my colleague's remarks. One area he could perhaps provide a bit more insight into is the moral responsibility of the tobacco companies and of the international companies that are going to reap the rewards of an increased level of smoking in our population.
I wonder if he has given any thought to how perhaps we could make the tobacco companies more accountable for the huge increases in our health care costs that are bound to come somewhere down the road so that they could pay their fair share since they are the ones reaping the rewards caused by this lowering of tobacco costs with the increase in the smoking population.
