My answer is no, it does not bother me at all. Since we started our company, we have always been in a free market situation without necessarily having support or protection programs. What I think is important is to protect the existing rural fabric. Existing companies who have benefited from these protections have been very major partners in rural communities. So, if only to help them make the transition that has to be starting, I feel that we should let those companies do so as smoothly as possible, as Mr. Gagnon from the Caisses populaires, I think it was, said earlier. If those measures allow them to do so and to soften the blows, I am completely in favour and I see no problem with it.
