Finance committee  Yes, I would think so. The spectre of going into a province, for example, like Ontario, which just finished passing a province-wide act, and then going to the airport smoking lounge, is a little difficult to take.

Finance committee  Yes, in part.

Finance committee  Okay. Partly that's true. Partly there will be research to look at what everyone is doing right now and to be able to have a clear map of assets and gaps. One of the things that happens in the beginning of these processes is that we think we're starting from scratch, and we never are.

Finance committee  Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm the president and CEO of the Canadian Lung Association. We are one of Canada's oldest health charities; we were 100 in the year 2000. We are a partnership of provincial organizations dedicated to improving the lung health and the quality of life for the six million Canadians suffering from lung diseases, such as asthma, pneumonia, flu, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and TB.
