Thank you very much.
Thank you to both of you for being here.
Mr. Buchler, in his presentation Mr. Smith was quite adamant that the new container size regulations could have a devastating effect not only on the industry but on the communities and on farmers.
We had Dan Paszkowski, the president of the Canadian Vintners Association, here last week. I asked him about that when we had a little chat afterward—we didn't have a chance to talk about it in committee—and he said that he felt it would also have a negative effect on the wine industry.
I seem to remember him saying that now we have those boxes and they're four litres, and we have these standard sizes of wine. This would allow us to import wine in 5.5 litres or 4.5 litres, for example, in non-standard sizes that could hurt our wine industry, just as the importation of products in non-standard sizes would hurt our other industries.
Yet you said today that you didn't think it would have an effect. I'm just wondering if you could clarify that, please.
