Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for making time for this committee. It's been very informative so far.

My questions are primarily for Ms. Bednar and Ms. Hearn.

Ms. Bednar, you mentioned that Amazon is an internal competitor. What comes to mind when you say that is something like AmazonBasics, where they have their own product line developed under that name. What also comes to mind is “Amazon's Choice”, which is how they highlight certain products that do well or sell well. I often see that the “Amazon's Choice” is an AmazonBasics product.

Could you comment on that? What other ways are there in which Amazon is an internal competitor?
