I just opened that envelope this morning, so I was glad to see groceries and gas, two areas that I am rather familiar with, as part of the target of the new Infinite cards.
Mr. Bouchard, you said something very interesting, which some of us who have worked on this in the past may not have picked up on.
Mr. Scott, you suggested that in the case of your industry, when you have an increase, it has a devastating impact on the bottom line.
Perhaps you could explain to us whether the 30 people you have working for you or had working for you have been affected.
The Canadian grocery association came to us and said that when they see an increase, they pass it on to consumers, the practical effect being that the poor guy who happens to walk in to get a bag of milk for his family actually winds up having to pay for this increase to grocery stores.
In your case, however, you can't pass it on. You have to absorb it. So I want to know, from your perspective, how many people may wind up on the employment insurance lines as a result, if they can qualify.
