I'd like to thank all the witnesses for coming to the continuation of our preliminary consultations for budget 2019.
I'll outline a bit of a problem we have. We're not going to have nearly as much time with you as we'd like. We have about 50 minutes. We have a vote at 6 p.m., so we'll have to adjourn at 5:45 p.m. because we're a little distance from the chamber.
Please hold your remarks as tight as you can. Members do have all these submissions, and I want to thank those of you who made them. They were short, concise and to the point, and we appreciate that.
We'll start with Beer Canada and Mr. Harford.
