Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you again, all of you, for being here.

Mr. Carrière, during one of your statements you mentioned that cooperative businesses tend to last longer than traditional businesses do. Could you perhaps elaborate on that? From what we've heard, cooperative business models at about five years out last twice as long as traditional businesses do. Is that correct?
