Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don’t know what avenue the government would have to check with anybody to see if this is some form of violation of human right. Like I said, I don’t think anybody should smoke, but I just don’t see why corrections workers should be singled out and treated differently than any other government employee when it comes to this matter. I’d like to know if the Minister would undertake to find out if this has ever been raised anywhere else in Canada or as an issue of a human right.
