I don't think minimum pricing is the way to go.

I'd like to see the government go the way of a WTO deal and untie the hands of Steve Verheul so that he can participate in the negotiations to end all the trade-distorting subsidies, or substantial reductions in trade-distorting subsidies, from foreign countries. I think that's where we have to start. Minimum pricing at the border is a band-aid.
