I want to thank Mr. Blaikie for the proposed amendment. I do support it.
I will say to you that in my tiny riding of 12 square kilometres, I have a lot of microbreweries and a lot of breweries. They are very supportive of the 2%. It's what they asked for last year and it's what they're asking for this year. If they can keep it to the 2%, they feel that's affordable.
Also, Mr. Hallan, inflation has come down from 8.1% a couple of summers ago to 3.4% in December. It's not in the target range, but if you recall, the Governor of the Bank of Canada does believe it's moving into the target range and expects it to be there toward the end of this year.
Thank you.
