Mr. Speaker, the member knows, or certainly should know, that in the last five years we have taken active and effective steps to reduce the level of smoking in Canada.
Tobacco is a legal product, but we are interested in reducing the level of smoking and preventing young children from starting to smoke. We have introduced the toughest, most effective anti-tobacco legislation in the western world. There are countries around the world that are copying it and using it as a model. We are investing $100 million over five years in enforcing that statute and in efforts to discourage young people from starting to smoke.
