Mr. Burgess's point is that if it is a trade off between allowing new competitors to come in or dealing with banks ripping off mortgage holders, the market is so small that we will not get a flood of competitors coming in. When it is a fine balance, Mr. Burgess feels it is a better decision to ensure the existing banks are charging appropriate rates.
