Thank you.
My first question is for Mr. Rooke.
Thank you for mentioning Taves Estate Cidery in Abbotsford, B.C. Loren Taves shared with me that this new excise tax on cidery products will be devastating for his business. It will basically gut his company's profits and not allow him to get a payback on his capital investment. He also mentioned the impact that carbon taxes have on his viability, when American cideries don't have to pay such a tax.
Are you aware of any effort by this government to implement a carbon border adjustment mechanism to offset this disadvantage that Canadian companies have, especially in the cidery space?
