Thank you Mr. Chairman.
My question is for the wine producers.
As you may know, tobacco was extensively grown on Quebec land for decades, especially in the Saint-Thomas area, in Joliette. Domaine Le Mernois was established by people who used to grow tobacco, but it is now a vineyard. It would not be easy for them to leave, because they invested heavily in the business. They make a red wine they named Terratabac—it is delicious and a very good port as well. They are still a small-scale winery. The Joliette-Lanaudière Christmas markets were held on the weekend, and I did some shopping, of course.
With free trade, more European products will be entering Canada. What problems will this cause to our young producers?
