Mr. Mulligan, again it's an honour for you to be here today. As a British Columbian, I watched you as a kid and it's good to talk to you today.
About your issue, this committee has heard from supermarkets and different producers that have actually had to pay for shelf space. We've heard that. Assumptions could be made about the liquor boards, too. We can make those assumptions, but there's no evidence yet, maybe.
I have a hope. I know Dan Albas well, and we hope that this issue will be resolved quickly. I think the wine issue has been tied up with the pipeline issue between our two provinces. That's where I see it tied up. I wish our two premiers would get along and possibly work things out and get wine flowing across the border.
On a positive note, the industry is doing really, really well. Assuming that this issue will be behind us fairly soon, what do you see as next? Do you see any other future issues on the horizon for B.C. or wine in general as a possible problem? Or do you see the future as bright? If this issue is behind us, life is going to be good for wine producers.
