Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to my colleagues and all the witnesses.
My question is for Mr. Lasnier and Ms. St‑Georges.
Australia filed a complaint against Canada respecting grape-based wine, as a result of which an amendment will be made to the excise tax. That affects you too because the federal government draws no distinction between wine and cider. We note that the federal government didn't conduct a study on the impact that will have on your industry before penalizing you in this manner. However, you say you've done your own study.
In the next two minutes or so, would you please give us more details on the 4,000 jobs that may be lost? For example, are they jobs in regional or urban areas? How many producers will that affect?
I'm listening.
