Mr. Speaker, I recall announcing the intention to introduce this legislation during the last election campaign, with the support of convenience store owners in Canada, particularly the Canadian-Korean convenience store owners whose businesses have been ravaged by the huge flow of illegal contraband cigarettes. I know they will be very disappointed to hear the NDP's opposition to the bill.
As with any effort such as this, the NDP members always have a useless process objection. They want more consultation. My question is, consultation with whom exactly? They talk about Kahnawake. We know there is massive, widespread, multi-million-dollar, hugely profitable criminal smuggling happening in some of these places. Is he suggesting that we should consult with the smugglers?
