Human Resources committee We talked a little bit at a meeting just recently here in Moncton about social cooperatives. What I really liked about that idea was that you don't go into business alone, but with support from others, so these people who aren't used to doing business have support. They don't feel that they're taking all the risk.

Human Resources committee If I could just say one thing, I think what's most disturbing is when you do find real issues, like the housing one I mentioned, of empty units being heated and landlords getting money and no people in the building, and you go to your government, in a closed meeting, and you go with two departments....

Human Resources committee There's no way they can. I happen to be a dairy farmer by profession. I have made the statement on a number of occasions that I have more regulations, more restrictions, more responsibility on how I treat my cows than what I see with our people. That disturbs me a lot, to the point of being involved in this organization.

Human Resources committee No. I submitted a presentation to them. They did meetings in different areas, so I attended the one here in Moncton.
