How does TFICs Blueprint for Action support the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control treaty, which the Canadian government has ratified?
The federal government is a signatory to the WHOs Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and must report on its progress in complying with this agreement by February 2007, including its activities related to Article 17 (re support for alternative economic activities for tobacco farmers, workers, etc.). The treaty supports decreased worldwide consumption of tobacco, as opposed to increased Third World reliance on increased tobacco farming. If Canadas decline in tobacco farming reflects the actual decline in tobacco consumption, Canada does not contribute to increased tobacco farming elsewhere in the world.
