Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. It gives me an opportunity to add something I did not mention before.
This bill will defer the payment of duty by small vintners selling wine on consignment in retail stores operated by an association of vintners until the wine is sold. For very small businesses, any additional cost can really eat into profits, which are often quite slim.
This measure came about because members went to see small vintners and listened to what they had to say. This measure is good for these companies' bottom line. On the one hand, we have a measure that lets them have a still to develop new products, and on the other, we have a measure like this one that relates directly to the GST.
Let us hope that all these measures will help this sector develop better in the coming months and years.
