The national treatment is a fundamental principle of international trade agreements, and we're wise to make sure we adhere to the principle. The way the bill is worded right now, I believe it does meet that principle. And to address some of your concerns, using information that's available on the LCBO website, if you were to order a case of wine from Australia through the LCBO, they would charge $300 to ship that case of wine to Canada. I think the reality is that, while it would be available, it's highly unlikely that very many Canadians would be lining up to add $300 to their case of wine.
