I will talk about the situation in general. Each co-op is autonomous and, as a result, has its own features, but the fact remains that the first partners are usually the municipalities. We make sure to maintain or to create services in municipalities. Generally, people in municipalities are board members and members of health centres. So public servants are board members and partners. The two are always working together.
Here is a very concrete example. In Beauce, Quebec, a co-operative set up shop on the same floor as the emergency room to be able to provide that service at the clinic when the emergency room is not open. In this case as well, the municipalities were the first to invest. There is a very strong partnership between all those players. That is really the key to the success of co-operatives.
But that is not the same thing you were talking about in terms of the co-op being open to the whole community. It is not the municipality that is in charge of the clinic. We invite everyone to become a member. There are about 3,000 to 4,000 members on average. All those who become members make their contribution and participate in a democratic process. They identify the types of services they want and how they want them to be organized. So we work very closely with the constituents. We determine what services people want in the community and whether additional services need to be provided, and we check to see if the people are ready to pay the bill that comes with those services.
