Unfortunately, we have run out of time. One of the questions I was going to ask was is it a simple question of ticking a box when one is buying online? We did not really get into that this morning. I suppose many people would have worries that this area is wide open.

If our guests have any proposals on how we can tighten that up, they might share them. They have outlined that they favour restrictions on underage sale. They also favour restrictions on the packaging and so on. If at some stage they want to expand on those positions for our report, we would appreciate it. Unfortunately, we only had an hour and a half for the meeting and we have run out of time. If there is something specific that our guests feel they would have liked to expand on had there been more time available or if they feel they could have expanded on their answers to questions, I ask them to please write to the committee and we will include any such submission as a part of our report on this issue.

I appreciate our guests coming in. It was a helpful meeting and we have a greater understanding of where our guests are coming from on the products they sell in their stores. I thank them for taking the time. I appreciate the honesty of their answers.
