Okay. That's great. Thank you for that.
The economists I have read on the topic of inflation recently have indicated that the current rate of inflation in Canada is caused by a number of key factors. They cite things like supply chain bottlenecks and shortages of key materials; labour shortages, which have caused increases in the cost of labour in certain sectors in particular; changes or increases in the price of gas or energy over time; and stronger consumer demand. When economies reopened, consumer demand picked up, so demand for those goods increased.
Do you agree that those are the primary causes of the inflation we're seeing right now?
