Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his speech.
I know that for many years he was the Bloc Québécois agriculture critic and I know that he cares about local craft producers of berry-based alcoholic beverages. The Bloc Québécois is proposing a modest measure that would not cost the government much, but that would make a difference for local producers of alcoholic beverages made from berries and maple syrup.
Can my colleague explain to the government how exempting small local producers from the excise tax would make life much easier for our farmers?
