I thank Mr. Johnson. That was illuminating.
Something that we have not considered in any great detail during our sessions is the question of how indexation would interact with regulated prices. Mr. Johnson spoke at length about student loans. We do not have that same scenario, but issues like rail and energy would be of great interest in this regard. Both of our countries are experiencing a very particular level of inflation right now. Will Mr. Johnson expand on what kind of effect indexation might have on regulated items?
