I'll have to fit it in. Thank you, Mr. Chair—I appreciate it.

Thank you, gentlemen, for being here.

I serve on the finance committee. During the pre-budget hearings, we had a pre-budget report given to us by a number of organizations: the Canadian Co-operative Association, the Credit Union Central of Canada, the Desjardins Group, The Co-operators. They had all come together with a report.

Mr. Carrière, was that report considered during the run-up to this particular change?
