Mr. Speaker, during this pandemic, the Liberal government should be supporting Canadian industries, not punishing them.
However, that is exactly what it is doing. Every year the government is automatically jacking up taxes on Canadian wine, beer and spirits. This escalator tax on alcohol is killing jobs, reducing our competitive trade and punishing consumers. It is drastically impacting the livelihoods of farmers, producers, and restaurant and bar owners right across this great country.
When will the Liberals get rid of their ever-increasing excise tax on Canadian alcohol?
