    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like, for the record of this House, to clarify one of the things that have come out. The tax measures on this tariff code is on all wines across the board; it is not only on a wine that is produced by a specific industry. If the problem is the difference between wine and beer, I would have expected the amendment to have a tax increase on beer and not on wine. The impact of this is reduction of revenue across the board for all wines. I would also like to clarify to this House that the amendment will not help the industry that hon. Members are thinking about because what it produces is a spirit and not a wine. I believe that we are probably targeting the wrong code, with our own perceptions for the wrong reasons. Since this is an issue that will go on public record, it might help this House if the Chairman of the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee would declare his interest in this matter."
