Mr. Chair, I certainly appreciate that at committee a number of witnesses from various industries said this will be very harmful not just to the producers of beer, wine, and spirits—Canadian companies—but also to those who support them. For example, there will be a demand change for everyone, from the farmers who make the hops all the way through to restaurants. That entire chain contributes greatly to this country in terms of taxes and productivity.
