It's an excellent question. I think I would have to agree with Jim. We found that with more international players in the marketplace, Canadian companies in retail started thinking more seriously about investing in technology. I use the term “technology” generally here, but even specifically in e-commerce, they were not as aggressive.
This was a very contained market. There was competition but not over-competition. The world has changed substantially in this country in the last ten years, for good and for bad...but for good. It's because Canadian companies are now realizing that if they do not have a very strong e-commerce presence they will not survive in the retail market locally or internationally.
