Finance committee  Thank you. I appreciate all of you being here. I'll try to get in some questions for at least a few of you. I'll start with MNP. You have provided us 10 recommendations in a 10-point action plan for competitiveness and stimulating growth. I think that's a very key area for recommendations to be made in.

Finance committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'm going to start with Beer Canada, Spirits Canada, and the Vintners Association, purely because all three of you raised two of the same issues. The first one is the interprovincial trade barriers. I think all three of you raised that issue. We're having a lot of trouble in this country right now dealing with trade negotiations with the United States and other countries, but it's crazy to think that even within our own country we have these issues around trade.

Finance committee  That's also true. I just want to hear a bit about the impact it will have on those trying to get started, and particularly on our smaller craft distilleries or craft breweries. I don't know who wants to start. You're closest to me, Mr. Westcott, so why don't you start? I would like to hear a comment from all three of you on the impacts you think it will have.
