Certainly, Mr. Speaker, I am not one to encourage individuals to consume alcohol and I would certainly hate to see individuals turn to the idea of purchasing Lysol products or aftershave.

I sometimes wonder if the Minister has evaluated the economic impact of this pricing policy on the operators of privatized liquor stores. I wonder if he has considered, by raising the price of favourite brands, that he is actually encouraging the people in communities -- in a community such as Fort Smith, which is fairly close to the border -- to buy their liquor in another province. However, whatever the purpose is, I think this new pricing policy should be re-evaluated and redesigned. That should happen now before we lose a lot of costs through increased health care costs.

I would encourage this Minister to look at the re-evaluation of the new pricing which has been in place since April 1st of this year. Thank you.
