Opposition Motion—Tax Increase on Beer, Wine and SpiritsBusiness of SupplyGovernment Orders
Bloc
Sébastien Lemire Bloc Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to know what my colleague from Winnipeg North thinks of the lobbying of interest groups that want to limit alcohol consumption to two drinks per week as recommended by their research. This could have consequences for the profitability of many of the regional microbreweries and craft distilleries in our regions. I want to salute Éduc'alcool, which conducted studies and has promoted responsible consumption habits for Quebeckers consisting of two drinks a day for women and three for men, and 10 drinks per week for women and 15 for men. This approach has been adopted in Quebec and keeps our local economy going.
Will the government respect the Éduc'alcool guidelines or will it adopt those of the lobbies that essentially encourage prohibition?

Mr. Speaker, one of the things I do respect is provincial jurisdiction, where liquor stores and so forth are administered through provincial governments. They do have all sorts of programs out there dealing with drinking responsibilities.
I would think the stakeholders, the provinces and Ottawa all play a role in responsible drinking.

Pursuant to order made on Friday, March 10, and this being the final supply day in the period ending March 26, it is my duty to interrupt the proceedings on the opposition motion and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of the business of supply.
