5:35 pm

We spoke on Second Stage about the resources available to the tobacco industry and the type of plotting and planning in which it engages. As Senator Crown has highlighted, the industry is certain to devise new ways of marketing, branding and promoting its products which we cannot foresee. My understanding is that the intention of the amendment is to set the parameters in this regard. That is why I asked if we could hear more about it. I do not know, for instance, whether it might have unintended consequences.
