Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A final note that I would like to leave this debate with is that I understand that the current law is that it's already an offence to import one cigarette into the north. Anybody who has been purchasing cigarettes in another jurisdiction all these years has been breaking the law. Now this new bill will allow you to bring in one carton without any taxes. In that respect, this bill is better than the current bill. I understand that and I just wanted to clear that point up. Thank you.
