Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
Before issuing a tobacco sale permit, we check to see if the individual has a criminal record. Then, we review the business plan submitted to us by the company. Finally, we visit the premises to ensure that everything is in compliance with the business plan presented to us. We also explain to the prospective permit holder his responsibilities and obligations.
In this case, all these steps were taken. If the facts do not reflect what we were told, of course we can revoke the individual's permit.
