They're very profound, because the $30 million is still a very limited amount of money for advisory services. The consequences would be that producers, as well as other people wanting to start cooperatives, would not have access to the specialized advisory services they need. The membership structure is different and the capital structure is different, so they need access to those specialized services in the communities.
Quite simply, there would not be a stimulation of the cooperative model in communities with people promoting that model. We would see more of other kinds of business models in the ascendancy. The cooperative model would not be reinforced because of the inability to communicate what it is and provide those specialized services on the ground.
We've seen in Quebec, for example, how strong their cooperative economy is because of an enabling environment with government that recognizes, and has historically recognized, the value of cooperatives. On a pan-Canadian level, we really need to stimulate a mixed economy, with cooperatives as one pillar of a mixed economy.
