That is a question for the cooperatives
themselves and the particular needs that are in the communities.
As I said earlier, I think a variety of particular interests are served by co-ops. They are found in all sectors, so they range from agriculture to financial services to retail workers' co-ops. I think in some cases in isolated communities they play a key role. Communities in which people associate with one another much more readily form co-ops to meet their particular needs.
So I think they play an absolutely key role in certain circumstances, and I think those circumstances are driven by the members themselves who form the co-op. It's people coming together and determining that their needs are best met through this particular model as opposed to some of the others that exist.
