Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On Friday, in response to a written question, the Hon. Don Morin advised me that the liquor fee increase was not a tax but, rather, part of the licence fee collected from licensees. I am having some trouble understanding this, so I thought I would ask the Minister of Finance to help me understand the difference between a licensee fee when it is not all required to pay for a service. In other words, it is generating extra funds for the consolidated revenue fund and tax. Can he explain to me the difference between those two things?
