You are right. We are in the same situation in Quebec.
Let me tell you about something that happened to me.
A few years ago, my company wanted to take part in the Ottawa Wine and Food Festival. It took us almost four months of work and cost us $2,500 to bring 12 small kegs of beer to Ottawa, two kilometres from my place. We have a situation where it is actually easier for us to export our beers to Japan, France and the United States than to our neighbours in Ottawa. We have the same problem in Quebec.
