Mr. Speaker, I rise today to toast Sleeman Breweries.
Located in my riding of Guelph—Wellington, Sleeman has had an outstanding year and recently reported that its fourth quarter profits have increased by 44% in the past 12 months. Not only has Sleeman expanded its operations by creating a national family of craft breweries, it has also increased the popularity of its traditional brands. This is great news for Sleeman and for my hon. colleagues from Quebec because it is in their home province that Sleeman saw the largest increase in sales.
I would like to congratulate Sleeman Breweries on yet another success. Its business excellence, combined with its commitment to promoting responsible drinking and its commitment to our community has made all of Guelph—Wellington proud.
When it comes to beer, the choice is clear and that choice is Sleeman.
