Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it was an agenda item on that federal/provincial/territorial Ministers of Health meeting in Regina. BC basically updated all other jurisdictions on their tobacco prevention and education initiatives because they are quite aggressively pursuing some of the tobacco companies and awareness campaign against tobacco, particularly aimed at children. All jurisdictions were quite impressed quite frankly with what was provided by the ministry from BC and applauded them for their efforts. We gave directions to all of our senior officials, from all jurisdictions to work together to develop in conjunction with what BC was doing, a more aggressive plan, in trying to implement tobacco reduction measures and to bring that back to the Ministers of Health. Thank you.
