Mr. Hunter:

May I suggest that the same principle would not be effective? Shipments of liquor from one province to another is prohibited by provincial law. In this instance we are endeavouring to state in a federal law what a province can do. While I am not prepared to say that I am a great constitutional lawyer, it does strike me that in this measure we are putting up barriers between provinces, and possibly doing so without proper jurisdiction.
