We saw similar compounding impacts of air cargo costs in our freight rates, for delivery of goods to our stores, similar to what was reported with air passenger travel costs. There's definitely a compounding impact that occurs the further north you go. Carbon tax, I think, right now makes up about 13% of the fuel surcharge component of our cargo contracts. It definitely plays a role in higher food prices. It has had a compounding impact, one of many, but so have changes in pilot duty time, hours and regulations, reducing the number of flights and distances of flights that the same pilot crew can cover. Among fuel, pilot duty time and things like the carbon tax accumulating, over the last four years in particular we've seen higher rates of inflation than I've seen in my 30-year career working in the north.
