I ask a supplementary question, Mr President. The minister says the government spends around $100 million on alcohol problems, but how much is spent on illicit drug problems in this country? Why does your government continue to ignore the advice that could save lives? Why won’t you reform taxes to promote low-alcohol products or enforce stricter regulation on sales and marketing or properly label alcoholic products?
