As I explained, within the co-operative sector, we have known for several years now that obtaining funds for the development of new co-operatives or smaller co-operatives was our responsibility. In other words, it was up to us to begin the process.
Today, we would like to begin this process, to create a fund and start establishing it. In an ideal world, we would like to develop a partnership with the federal government, which could come to our table and, in a perfect world, bring money and increase the fund. The idea would not be to provide money every year, but to start to put money in the fund.
For example, in northern Canada, there is a fund. They started 15 years ago with $2 million. Today, the fund is up to $10 million or $13 million. This was—
one shot and that was it.
After the start, things went well. The fund made headway and grew.
That is what we would like to do, but at a national level.
