Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to be specific. There have been suggestions that a lot of the problems related to liquor in the communities could be offset, to some degree, if communities were allowed to have outlets whereby they could apply a tax over and above what the government charges. That money would be used to offset problems with liquor by being able to create other activities or build infrastructure that would allow people to have other activities rather than just sit at home and drink. A lot of people thought this was quite a good proposal to allow hamlets or whatever, to have the ability to tax liquor over and above what the government charges. That was what specifically I was referring to. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
