Fantastic.
One other thing I would like to see is if you could commit to providing the committee some information on the justification for the rate increase as it relates to cooling demand. You have raised interest rates several times now. They're monster hikes that are now cascading through the economy in everything from lines of credit to mortgage renewals. You have indicated they hit low-income Canadians the hardest. We all know the suffering Canadians are experiencing right now.
You have also said today that the reason for that inflation is the gap between the demand and the supply. You have indicated that supply has fallen and demand has skyrocketed, so we should be able to see some data. We should be able to see some metrics that you can use to justify that. Can you provide this committee with examples of declines in production and declines in output, and corresponding increases in the volume of sales? It's not dollar amounts, but the volume of sales.
If what you have said is true, we should either see massive drops in outputs—forestry companies producing far less lumber, farmers producing less food—or corresponding huge hikes in the volume of sales at retailers and wholesalers, and things like that. Could you provide the committee the data that you used to justify your interest rate hikes?
