In the cooperative environment, the associations in French-speaking Ontario are independent. Even though they share services with Desjardins, it's an independent community that is responsible for itself. We maintain relations. In the financial sector, we have developed our own avenues, our own financial services and our own internal financing capability. That's what's important and that's what's emerging. That doesn't mean we don't experience any influence from the outside, from Quebec, for example. However, you should know that this affords a significant degree of local control in French-speaking Ontario for our development.
