Health committee  Sorry, I'm not sure of your question.

Health committee  No, I'm not.

Health committee  Yes, you'll also find that that charter challenge was based on the fact that the harm being done by tobacco smoke was greater than the harm being done to industry, and that is something you will find is the absolute reverse if this happens to food.

Health committee  I said parts of it were not valid.

Health committee  I don't have that with me. I said I would submit it to the committee.

Health committee  I can give you one example that's probably slightly inaccurate, but not by very much. In the report, 10 websites are mentioned, for instance. I believe eight of those—again, pardon me for not having my notes—were U.S. sites. One of the products mentioned was not even sold in Ca

Health committee  The study is quoting U.S. numbers for a Canadian study. It is pointing out things that are wrong in Canada, and that would be wrong, yes.

Health committee  I said that several times, yes.

Health committee  I don't know. If there's a ban or restriction of any dramatic size, which is what we're talking about, if that's put in place, that would be overreach, and it would fail the proportionality test, we believe. I'm not making this up. We just go by the constitutional lawyer. It's Pe

Health committee  May I make a comment on that? I think a very important point was just made: that it is a multi-faceted problem. In fact, in terms of how fast it exploded and where it is today, the rates of obesity and overweight in Quebec are basically not statistically different from the rest

Health committee  There are two things here. To your first question, we have to go on the record and we'd certainly be more than happy to provide you an assessment. The Heart and Stroke report is not entirely valid, let's just say.

Health committee  We'd be more than happy to do that.

Health committee  In terms of the charter challenge, we would never tell the government how to go about its business. We just know that, if there's a piece of legislation or if our businesses are significantly harmed in an unreasonable way, such as banning advertising of food directed at adults, t

Health committee  No. What we said is that “healthy” and “unhealthy” are terms that are not currently anywhere in the health initiatives with Health Canada. They're also not anywhere that we can find in the food guides, etc. They're not terms that are normal. To say all of a sudden that a food i
