Mr. Brian McHugh:
What we would say is it is important that consumers have absolutely clear information on what price they are going to pay before they make their buying decision. Where we get into in some way trying to restrict the freedom of businesses to set their prices, it is a slippery slope. It is very difficult. In spite of how frustrating consumers find it, it is very difficult to try and set some form of price control for industry.
