Thank you, Mr. Weston. I have limited time, and I want to ask one more question.
I think it's fair in these times when so many are struggling, including many employees in your stores, to talk about executive compensation, because the gulf between what top executives earn and what employees earn has turned into a chasm frankly.
Your total compensation in 2022 was $11.7 million, which was an almost $1.1-million increase from the previous years. I was wondering if you could explain to Canadians and probably to your employees why you make 431 times more than your average employee. I have a quote from Unifor, the local at one of your stores, which said:
Loblaw workers are fed up with the out-of-control disparity between their wages, the company's enormous profits, and high cost of living.... You know it's bad when workers at Canada's largest grocery store chain are struggling to afford their own food, even at discount stores like No Frills.”
How do you respond to that, Mr. Weston?
