On a point of information, I agree with the Minister of State that is an important issue, but it is addressed in section 16, which permits the Minister to make regulations prohibiting or restricting licensees from selling intoxicating liquor at a reduced price. I support that and believe it is a sensible and moderate approach. It does not ban below cost selling, but it imposes restrictions and permits the Minister to make regulations that will provide for the detail. That is a moderate and balanced approach.
