Who flies faster: AC's A320 vs WJ's B737-700

Just curious...

Anyone know if Air Canada's A320s and Westjet's B737-700/800 both (in general) are set to cruise at about the same mach speed i.e. .79 on cross-country flights within Canada?

(I say set to cruise i.e. corporate policy for pilots to select a prefered speed rather than a possibly higher technically feasible speed).

I'm interested to know given this day and age of high fuel prices -- and economizing. And I jokingly say in order to know which might be the "faster airline" ;-)
