Madame Voyer, I certainly appreciate your presentation today. Obviously we are concerned about childhood obesity. It's really matching and diagnosing the problem and then asking what the best solution is.
You mentioned Mexico. According to the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico, which keenly supports this tax, annual sales of sugary drinks averaged 18.2 million litres between 2007 and 2013. In 2014 this rose to 19.4 million litres and then it rose again in 2015 to 19.5 million.
When you factor in and adjust for population growth, you have, from 2007 to 2013, 160 litres per capita, in Mexico. In 2014, when it was adopted, the per capita rate went to 162 litres, and even with adjustments for population in 2015 as well, it was 161 litres.
Obviously, the evidence does suggest that work is needed here. How do you explain that where this has been enacted it has not accomplished its purpose of reducing consumption?
