I'm glad you did. I'm glad you flagged it to them directly. I would also say that I appreciate the November 27 statement on wage fixing.

When I compare our interpretation of our own laws out of Justice and out of your statement versus the FTC guidance, it does seem pretty straightforward to me that, if that same conduct that we saw among our national grocers had occurred in the United States, it would have amounted to negative wage fixing, and the FTC could have criminally investigated it. You don't have that power, though.
