I'm sorry. We weren't sure whether it was okay for officials to jump in with this earlier.
It relates to BQ-4. We think that may have also amended the wrong section. BQ-4 appears to amend the “taken for use” provisions of the Canadian wine exemption, but we think it intended to amend both clause 131 and clause 132 for it to work as intended.
It's actually the package provisions in clause 132—section 135 of the Excise Act, 2001—that apply to the consumer market. As passed, BQ-4 would apply only to “taken for use” cider and mead. That's cider and mead consumed on site by the producer or something like that and not packaged for the consumer market.
