I believe there's certainly very much a need within Canada for the development of cooperatives to fill the needs within communities. Health care was mentioned, but I also see it, for example, in funeral cooperatives. I'm helping the Somalian community right now to develop a funeral cooperative, because there is no business that truly serves them. That need is going to be there. Where are you going to get the resources from? Where are you going to get the ability and the expertise to do that? A governance model is important. That level of support is critical, or we're going to miss the opportunity to have communities be able to solve their problems.
