Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to my colleague's speech. Some of the figures he quoted on contraband cigarettes in Ontario surprised me a little. They seem a bit high, to me.
However, I am happy to hear that he understands the government’s message, that we want to keep cannabis out of the hands of young people. Tobacco and alcohol are more difficult to purchase because they are regulated. It is difficult for young people to purchase tobacco or alcohol, because they need to show ID. We want the same for cannabis.
My colleague also mentioned that there was too little education and prevention. I am happy to hear that he is concerned.
The legislation talks a lot about plain packaging, but what does my colleague propose to help decrease the rate of smoking among adults?
