I call this meeting to order.
Orders of the day—we are televised—are pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, December 7, 2011, a study of Bill C-311, An Act to amend the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (interprovincial importation of wine for personal use).
This is our second session on this topic.
We have six witnesses before us here this afternoon: firstly, the Alliance of Canadian Wine Consumers; secondly, the British Columbia Wine Institute; next, we have Château des Charmes; we have the Grape Growers of Ontario; the Wine Council of Ontario; and our last presenter, Winelaw.ca.
I want to thank you all for being with us here this afternoon. We will allow you five minutes for an opening statement, and then we'll have questions from members.
We'll start with Ms. George, please.
