Context: House Hansard - 51 - Apr/1/22
Mr. Richard Cannings (South Okanagan—West Kootenay, NDP)
Madam Speaker, people across the country are facing the rising costs of gas, groceries and housing, and one way to help them is by eliminating taxes that do not make sense. Low-alcohol beer is a healthy and increasingly popular choice, yet it is charged the alcohol excise tax while low-alcohol wine and spirits are not. Yesterday, I introduced Bill C-267 to provide a simple fix for this anomaly. Will the government support this fix, put it in the budget and provide some relief for both craft brewers and consumers?
