Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure if that would require two acts to do what is being done presently through the example used of Health and Social Services. We do have, through Health and Social Services, a drug and alcohol program. On the finance side, the sales side and the taxes received through the sale of tobacco comes through the Department of Finance. There could be work, and I think the Member may be heading to this; the fact that we do have some issues that have caused us some concern and we recognize that. It's in the jurisdiction that the Liquor Board does have in the existing act. There can be separation in that. That is one of the things that we're looking at, to ensure that the legislative side, the enforcement side, is very clear and concise as to how that part of the business operates. The addictions side and drug and alcohol awareness side is something we need to continue pursuing as a government overall, and how we deal with the addictions side. I'm not sure that would require two pieces of legislation to be developed though. Thank you.
