I thank the Senator again for his concern and the amendment which aims to include specific provisions in the Bill for the packaging of cigars. However, the Bill as it stands makes provisions for the packaging of cigars in section 10 on retail packaging of other tobacco products. Section 10 sets out requirements which apply to all tobacco products, including cigars. Therefore, I do not believe it is necessary to have the amendment and I ask him, respectfully, to withdraw it.
