Mr. Speaker, once again, I would like to summarize this for all Canadians. Regardless of what cigarette packages may say, whether they are labelled “light”, “mild” or “regular”, it is important, once again, to remind Canadians that smoking is bad for their health, period.
Now, before taking more specific measures to decide what packages should say, I think we should take the trouble to figure out what effect certain messages will have.
I know that my colleague is very impatient, but obviously, if he would give us a little more time, we might be able, in the end, to allay his concerns.
However, once again, everyone agrees that smoking is not healthy. That is the message that Health Canada would like to send to Canadians.
