It is not a criticism. I understand the position taken by Dr. McAvoy. Obviously we all want to see the legislation as proposed passed. For those of us who want to strengthen it, there is an opportunity to strengthen it because following this process, we will have to publish a report where we deliberate as members of the committee. We can make recommendations. If it was possible to amend the Bill to go further in some areas, particularly regarding a ban on flavouring, would Dr. McAvoy support doing so if it would not delay implementation for too long?
