Thank you. I'd like to echo and reinforce that list you gave as being very important, but I'll confirm that excise tax is a federal authority. It's very important in the pricing scheme, because it's the first tax applied after the wholesale tax. On top of that, it becomes multiplied by profits, markups, and sales taxes, so its power is much greater because it's at the bottom, and it gets multiplied. It's absolutely the federal government that sets it.
It's absolutely the fact that at the moment excise tax on beer is on per litre of liquid, not on the amount of alcohol, which is what causes the harm. It's the amount of alcohol that has caused problems and created the opportunity for products like FCKDUP to be so profitable and appealing.
In terms of the minimum price, you're right: it's set provincially at the moment, and it varies hugely in Canada. Alberta and the territories have no minimum prices. Quebec has a tiny minimum price that doesn't really work on beer. It's so low that it doesn't have any effect. Then Saskatchewan or New Brunswick have quite high and effective minimum prices. If you were to override that nationally....
Scotland is doing this nationally, if you regard Scotland as a country. It regards itself as a country. Canada gave them the idea, and it's done provincially. You could override it and introduce a national minimum price per standard drink. It would be the most effective single thing that you could do.
