Absolutely.
Our concern with the excise tax has been very public and very much on the record since it was first implemented so many moons ago at this point. The problem is that it's an escalator tax, so every year it goes up without parliamentary approval, and it's creating exponential ripple effects on our operational costs, on our bottom line. It not only hits the local farmers and brewers but it has a trickle-up effect that increases the cost of our supplying beverages to guests and consumers.
The budget did indicate a promising first step in the elimination of that excise tax for low-alcohol beer and low-alcohol beverage products—and that's great—but that is a minuscule portion of our business, of the business of brewers across the country. When we talk about a “do no harm” policy, that would be a prime example.
