Agriculture committee It's 83% of our $520 million, so it's over $430 million.

International Trade committee That's right. That's under the federal Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act.

International Trade committee The U.S. is obviously our biggest export market at just over 80%. The EU as a group is number two. Then there's Japan, Australia, and Russia. Those would be our top five or six export destinations.

International Trade committee Under the federal Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, we cannot import bulk spirits for other than blending and flavouring purposes. Under CETA, there'll be an exception made: that if you're importing bulk spirits from Europe, you can bottle it as is without adulterating it.

International Trade committee Just for clarification, the EU did not have tariffs on Canadian spirits going into the EU. We've been building, since the 2004 wine and spirits agreement, in all the other non-tariff barriers. That's how we've increased 20% and we see CETA as another push to double that again.
