This individual here, this limited company had obtained a retail dealers permit under the Tobacco Tax Act. Over a period of time, he had been importing his own tobacco without remitting the appropriate taxes. The department received notice of this and we sent our investigator up to Inuvik to obtain evidence. At the time, there was insufficient evidence -- and still there is insufficient evidence -- to lay criminal charges under the Tobacco Tax Act. That being said, we were able to assess a civil debt due under the Tobacco Tax Act with the appropriate penalties and interest calculated.
