Yes, that's somewhat the case. Going from Agriculture Canada to Industry Canada stems from the fact that, for several years, the government wanted to include co-operatives in a department. There were a lot of agricultural co-operatives. So it made sense that they come under Agriculture Canada.
But now, given the diversity within the co-operative sector in Canada, Agriculture Canada is no longer able to meet our needs. Also, in the last budget, the only federal program that had been around for 10 years was abolished. Agriculture Canada could not inject funds into co-operatives that were not tied to agriculture.
We considered it an opportunity to change our partnership with the federal government.
