| This report was undertaken in order to measure the economic impacts of the grape industry on the Ontario economy and the impacts of maintaining the Wine Content Act at the 30% level. It will also provide an estimate of the benefits to grape growers and Ontario of increasing the requirements of the Wine Content Act to 75%. Specifically, the objectives are: 1. To determine the current contribution of the processing grape industry to the economy of Ontario. 2. To estimate the economic effects of alternative requirements of the Wine Content Act on grape growers. 3. To estimate the future contributions of the wine grape industry to the economy of Ontario under alternative requirements for the Wine Content Act. |
