Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, guests, for coming here today.
My first question will be to you, Mr. Westcott. As everybody knows, we have a constitution in this country. A lot of these barriers are set up provincially. One would almost have to change the constitution to get this changed. There's no doubt that the federal government can take a lead to set up some sort of blueprint. But at the end of the day you need all the premiers and the territorial leaders to sit down and say that, okay, this is kind of nuts that we can't be moving wine from province to province.
What is stopping it? If that were number one on the agenda at the premiers' meeting, what is stopping it? Is it their own bureaucrats who are getting a little extra money in their coffers? Is it the bureaucracy and these liquor boards? Where is the push-back? Because it's not from the consumer and it's not from the producers of wines and many spirits, so it has to be within those provincial governments that they're safeguarding something. You mentioned a $150 million loss. Somebody else must be making a pile of money on this because of protecting turf.
Can you explain that one a little bit?
