I understand the honourable member's interest in discerning what the contents of the budget are, but I would remind the honourable member that governments of both political persuasions at different times have increased tobacco taxes. As Leader of the Opposition, I proposed it myself in 2009. I would say it is not an original idea. The honourable member—while I welcome her interest in the contents of the budget—will just have to wait until it is delivered.
