Lastly, I would like to talk about transparency. When all the grocery chain representatives spoke to us for the first time, the Competition Bureau was conducting a study. The catalyst for this study was the significant increase in grocery chain profits.
When we asked grocery chain representatives about this, they said that their profits hadn't been boosted by food products, but by other goods, such as pharmacy products. However, when we asked them for details and breakdowns to check whether they were telling the truth, they said that they couldn't provide this information because they were in competition.
At that initial meeting, I asked each representative, including you, to commit to providing these figures to the Competition Bureau. Everyone agreed to do so. A few weeks later, I received the Competition Bureau's report. In the first pages of the report, the bureau lamented the fact that it hadn't received the figures from everyone.
My question is straightforward. Did Costco provide its figures to the Competition Bureau?
