Minister, are you aware that the excise duties on wine have increased by 125% since 1980 and that the new measures you are proposing will basically be 2% per year forever? That's going to take a lot of investment out of wineries, microbrewers, and brewers of spirits across this great country. They are very sensitive to excise changes.
Minister, have you done any work to see what this will do to jobs and investment? In this country right now, we are at the lowest level of business investment since 1981. Minister, have you done the homework on this particular sector, on how sensitive it is, considering they pay all the other taxes? By the way, excise ends up being paid provincially as well as federally, then you add the GST or HST, depending on where you're making it. Minister, there are going to be increases right across the board. Have you done the homework?
