Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During the whole debate on the private Member's bill, I understand there"s a lot of opposition to placing health warning labels on containers by the liquor industry. It's a massive, powerful lobby and they've done their work well. In Ottawa, they have a lot of misinformation and different types of information, including what the honourable Member has mentioned regarding consuming a small amount of alcohol is good for you. This is one of the studies which has just come out. The results of the study are very questionable. This is an example of the type of lobbying which is being done in opposition to this private Member's bill. Thank you.
