My sincere thanks to my fellow committee members for being open-minded and working so co-operatively. I am truly grateful. You are all to be commended.
Yesterday, the committee voted in favour of the modified version of BQ‑4, which dealt with clause 131 and sought to exclude cider and mead from the excise tax. For the sake of consistency and alignment, I would like to move a similar amendment to clause 132, because the same amendment cannot apply to more than one clause. Here's the amendment.
I move that Bill C-19, in clause 132, be amended by replacing line 21 on page 106 with the following:
placed by the following: (a) produced in Canada from honey or apples and composed wholly of agricultural or plant product grown in Canada.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
