Mr. Speaker, although police and customs officers are key in the fight against illegal cigarette sales, action from several other departments is required to wage an effective campaign.
These actions must be coordinated by a ministerial committee, which requires strong leadership in order to consolidate and continue the fight against tobacco addiction and against organized crime, which benefits from this illegal trade.
In the name of justice for honest merchants, is the Minister of Public Safety prepared to chair such a committee and to ensure that all necessary measures are taken?
