Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Health. She gave a Minister's statement this afternoon dealing with cancer month, which is April. The aim of cancer month is to reduce occurrences of cancer by encouraging people to change their life-styles. Mr. Speaker, some years ago, there used to be a person working for the Department of Health who dealt with tobacco. He was a person who went about talking to school children and the general public about the effects of cigarette smoke, the use of tobacco and its correlation to the disease of cancer. I see more and more young people smoking now than ever before. I wonder if the Department of Health still has a person designated to deal with the use of tobacco.
