Mr. Speaker, I personally support the principles of Bill S-13, due to its health ramifications. This bill deals with many of the weaknesses in the Liberal tobacco measures, specifically the weakening of the tobacco control act by Bill C-42 which is currently being debated.
Health groups throughout this country are supportive of this bill.
Reformers treat private bills as a free vote on which a constituent has direct and significant impact.
Cabinet should hang its collective head in shame for having such a procedural wrangle on this bill.
