It was all in cooperation with a lot of people, including through steps made to approach the UN. For first time in its history, Canada has supported a theme year before it was introduced by the United Nations. So I would say that, in terms of partnerships in relations between the government of the moment and the people in the cooperative movement, it was really a work of art. Now we have to make it work. Having it proclaimed is one thing, but making it work is another. We'll need leaders who can be there with us during the year. It is really very important to make it work at the international level. Canada is recognized as an important place for cooperatives and a model to be followed.
For example, the International Cooperative Alliance just adopted a motion at its last meeting to include mutual companies in its membership. That is the case in Quebec and nowhere else in the world. So I think it's important to acknowledge the influence we are having at the international level.
