I hope not. I think that's what I said initially. I think there are some very concerning implications around starting to articulate volunteerism in an economic sense. I would never want this to be seen as the tip of the pyramid to have that implemented across the sector. I think that could be hugely damaging to the fundamental ethos or values of what volunteering is all about. I do think this is a unique group within the context of volunteers in Canada.
