Madam Chair, very directly, Mr. Naqvi, absolutely.
If you think about 11 out of 13 jurisdictions agreeing to allow direct-to-consumer alcohol sales by the end of next month, in a few weeks from now, and enthusiastically and happily agreeing with each other in front of everybody, that was imperative. Think how hard it's been, and think of the different provincial monopolies that have existed for decades.
There's an example. We talk about the hardest part. That's one of the most visible. Some people have private members' legislation on this issue, which is very interesting. “Free the beer”; we've heard that. We've taken note of Mr. Poilievre's news conference with respect to this. We agree with that, but so do the provinces in the sense that they have taken these concrete steps.
I'm optimistic that the moment behooves all of us to continue that progress and to get to a real free trade economy within the country. I have a lot of optimism about that.
