Heidi and Louis are co-directing the Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control.
Thank you Heidi and Louis for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourselves?
Heidi Rathjen: I was a student in civil engineering at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique when, on December 6, 1989, a man entered the building and opened fire with a paramilitary weapon, ending the lives of 14 of my fellow female students. I chose to devote myself to the cause of firearms control and, with Wendy Cukier, founded the Coalition for Gun Control.
