Let's say that the government decides to change the excise tax on alcohol and lowers it to a normal inflation rate, which would be around 2.1 or 2.3%, rather than pegging it to the real inflation rate. That is indeed a request that I have heard loud and clear coming from the sector. For Restaurants Canada, that would mean that the price of alcohol would only go up by 2.1 or 2.3% over the next few years.

Have I got it right?
