HST to increase the cost of beer - May 25, 2010

Spencer asks why when the BC Government is marking up the price of beer and wine in BC

"If you go to a liquor store, the government is marking up the price, yet they claim that people will cost on the savings. Will the minister tell this House if the government actually isn't marking up the price and that somehow we've got it wrong? Or are they just trying to gouge B.C. taxpayers with yet another cost through a different hand in a different pocket?"
