Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I think I may stay with that line of questioning, because you said, Mr. Charlebois, that you cannot correlate food costs with the carbon tax. In fact, the carbon tax is higher this year than it was last year. It's been going up by a certain amount, predictably, for investments every year.

How do you explain then that this year it will be a 2.5% to 4.5% increase, when last year it was a lot more, if in fact the carbon tax is going up and not down?
