Mr. Barrett, you said:
In the cooperative sector we don't ask for special treatment, just equality of opportunity. We ask not for favours but for fairness, and we look not for unqualified support but for qualified investment.
I agree with you. This being the International Year of Cooperatives, we are doing this great work. We are learning so much, and I'm actually quite happy to be here. I think the time is flying fast.
We do have the upcoming international cooperative meeting in Quebec. To do this report and submit it...don't you think it's a little bit sad in a way that we're not able to be exposed to what's happening on an international level, to see best practices and try to apply them here when it comes to maybe even agriculture, health care, and housing? Do you think it would be a good idea if we attend that?
