Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Minister of Health is also responsible for Justice, I would ask the Minister if he would make a strong stance to federal bodies that enact these laws, if they would give some consideration to putting in place something to back up what is already there, where minors cannot purchase tobacco. My understanding is that they can have it in their possession and smoke it. I would ask the Minister, as he is the Minister of Justice also, if he would lobby his counterpart in the federal bureaucracy strongly to see if something further cannot be done. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
