This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 13 wordson September 29, President Trump’s ban on Canadian alcohol imports came into effect.¹ Reasoning · 21 wordsThis is critically important because there has hardly been a more challenging time for Canada’s small wineries, craft breweries and distilleries. Claims · 114 wordsThese new barriers to trade expose how Canadians cannot access their own national market despite many promises to Canadians from the Liberal government. Canadians still cannot enjoy direct-to-consumer shipping of Canadian-produced wine, beer and spirits.⁴ My bill, Bill C-262, would allow Canada Post and other trusted carriers to ship their products directly to Canadians across provincial boundaries.² When I tabled my bill this past March, the minister responsible sounded supportive of the bill and what it sets out to achieve.³ I have lost track, though, how many times I have heard the Prime Minister say that we are masters of our own destiny and that we must focus on the things we can control. Reasoning · 5 wordsMy bill meets those standards. The ask · 35 wordsI am daring the Prime Minister to get off the sidelines, adopt my bill and let producers sell their made-in-Canada products directly to consumers. It is time to allow this market to grow in Canada.

Respect · 100
