List of Details Subject matter Detail Economic Development, Federal-Provincial Relations, Internal Trade, Science and Technology, Small Business, Taxation and Finance CRA Excise stamp logistics and placement on adult consumer use cannabis products and co packing supply chain realities that run up against the Excise Tax Act. Budget, Consumer Issues, Economic Development, Federal-Provincial Relations, Internal Trade, Small Business, Taxation and Finance Excise Tax Framework on Cannabis products was fashioned on a premise of $ 1 in $ 10 as tax whereas in practical reality the tax is far more aggressive than planned, often coming in at or nearly 3 times higher at 30 %. This is severely compressing the financial viability of many licensed producers and processors, while keeping product prices high in comparison to competition in the legacy, illicit marketplace.
