Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chapman, I always love talking to you.
It seems to me that this government never misses an opportunity to put more taxes on beer. I know we've been talking about this for a long time. I guess it was nice that they froze it at 2%, but I want to continue with my theme of how this government has become so brazen about breaking its promises that it's actually doing it in the same budget documents.
Here we have a situation in which the government, after being dragged, kicking and screaming, by our party to freeze the excise tax, deigned it so and froze it at 2%. However, just this morning, the Parliamentary Budget Officer released a report on the second carbon tax—what they call the clean fuel standard—which says it's going to add another 17¢ per litre on gasoline.
That makes its way through the entire distribution chain, does it not?
