Madam Speaker, my focus is on youth and the impact of the packaging. I raised this in a previous question for a member opposite.
I am not sure if my hon. colleague mentioned this in his speech, but we know Canadian youth are at most risk. In 2015, 115,000 Canadians became daily smokers and 82% of all current daily smokers began at the age of 18.
There has been some suggestion by members across the way that the packaging really does not have an impact or they are minimizing the impact that it has on people deciding to smoke or picking up a package of cigarettes at the store.
Could my colleague comment on what he believes the impact of going to a standardized packaging would have on youth?
