With respect to credit cards, you mentioned earlier that you can provide statistics that demonstrate that people purchase more if they have a premium card. Can you provide those statistics to the committee? I'd be very interested to see that. I asked the same question to the Retail Council of Canada, if they believe that consumers would actually spend more because they have a premium card as opposed to a card with fewer attributes, and they said they didn't believe it.
