Thank you to our guests today.
Dave, I'll just tell you that I'm a Sun-Rype fan. I grew up on it as well, so I hope it can move across Canada and North America.
I personally think that one of our challenges in the wine industry, and probably in the alcohol industry, is the fact that it's dominated by government-run agencies that restrict the ability of markets to define who they are and what they want. I would love to buy more Canadian product. My guy says if I want to bring in Ontario wine, I have to buy a case, because he won't put it on his shelf, which is sad.
So thank you, and we appreciate your input.
If there are no other comments, I'll adjourn. See you next week.
The meeting is adjourned.
