Finance committee  I would just tell her to take her cue from recommendation 332 of the Standing Committee on Finance, which is quite wise and well thought‑out. Two years ago, mead and cider were exempted from the excise tax. We applaud the government's proactiveness in making this move. However, the fact that some non‑grape‑based products are exempt, but not others, has added a layer of complexity and inconsistency.
