Not crystal clear yet, but looks like they want to cover non-nicotine containing shortfills, and probably by extension flavorings?

Canada does this garbage. We call it an excise tax.
Some provinces started July 2024, and more joined January 2025
Federal excise tax Started 2022. THEN the feds invited the Provinces to do the same.
$1 per 2mL on the first 10mL of e-liquid (or pod, or disposable) (effectively, $5 on the first 10mL of a bottle)
$1 per 10mL above the first 10mL
It’s a pure money grab, enticing vapers to use the highest nic concentration as there is no incentive to drop lower. The tax is strictly based on volume regardless of nic content.

I’ll say! They might as well just come out and say…we’d rather you go back to Cigarettes.
