I call this meeting to order.

This is the 50th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Our orders of the day, pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, December 7, 2011, concern a study of Bill C-311, An Act to amend the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (interprovincial importation of wine for personal use).

We have two panels today, colleagues. In our first panel we're very pleased to have our colleague, the member of Parliament for Okanagan—Coquihalla, Mr. Dan Albas. Welcome to the committee and congratulations on your bill passing second reading. I understand you have an opening statement for the committee, and then we'll have questions from members.

Please begin your opening statement.
