Thank you.
I'm going to switch now, Chair, to Mr. Goddard.
I have quite a few small craft breweries in P.E.I. and some in my riding, Mr. Goddard, and I always struggle with.... As we've heard over the past number of years, relevant to a lot of the bigger corporations buying up the small craft breweries....
You talked about the excise tax, which is fine—that's obviously an issue—but the small craft breweries in P.E.I. produce about 3,000 to 4,000 hectolitres a year. The one that is likely the largest in Atlantic Canada, which I consider a small craft brewery, produces around 15,000 hectolitres a year. That's the breakdown on the representation of those breweries.
We talk about breweries building themselves around communities and being local small craft breweries. Where is the division? How do you separate the big guys from the little guys, when we know that the profit margins of some of the bigger breweries are 60% to 70%?
