Mr. Speaker, the RCMP carefully monitors trends in order to develop and implement effective enforcement strategies and to deploy the appropriate resources. Law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border work together to curtail the illegal movement of tobacco products.
It is totally inaccurate to make the proposal of the hon. member. In fact, the RCMP and its partners, both domestic and international, combat the illicit tobacco market through crime prevention, monitoring and enforcement activities. They shall continue to do that.
