Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that Bill 19, An Act to Amend the Tobacco Tax Act, be read for the second time. Madam Speaker, this bill amends the Tobacco Tax Act to change the rate of tax. The bill requires an importer of tobacco, other than a person who is a collector, to obtain an import permit and allow searches for and seizures of tobacco in smaller quantities. The bill makes it an offence for a person other than a collector to import tobacco without a permit, or for any person to possess tobacco that is stamped, marked, sealed or labelled for sale in another jurisdiction. The bill also changes references from Comptroller General to Minister, and makes other minor, technical changes. Thank you.
