Thank you, Senator Canavan, for your generosity. I did have some questions for the minister relating to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Minister, I chaired the Senate inquiry into these bills. We had issues throughout the inquiry with the adherence to some of the articles within this convention by witnesses to our committee. I was hoping you could just step us through the obligations under that framework, when we signed up to that framework, and if you could speak to whether it applies to parliamentarians who are captured by that framework.
