Last week, I spoke with Jorg and Anette Engel, constituents who own a small distillery, who are worried about what this tax means for their livelihood.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628067\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are in an affordability crisis, and a tax hike this large will make things worse. The Liberals escalator tax on beer, wine and spirits is going to cost small business owners tens of thousands of dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7628068\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the Liberals fix this tax, and stop this tax hike to help Canadians already feeling the squeeze?</p>",
