I have evidence for what I'm saying. There was a situation where the OPP intervened with a tobacco shipment that took place in the Delhi region, with 48,000 pounds of raw-leaf tobacco in it, right here in Canada.
We always looked towards Akwesasne as the heart of the contraband problem, maybe partly as the fault of how the thing is flourishing. Maybe we're all sitting around watching one house, and five houses down the road, everything's just partying on.
If you do not offer a fair opportunity to the Canadian tobacco farmers to sell their tobacco products, and if as a government you don't do things to control that this product being consumed is at least a product from their own country, then we've let the Canadian tobacco farmers down. I'm not going to change from that position.
