Thank you.
We've heard this morning from witnesses, and even from government members, about the success of cooperatives.
Ms. Guy, I appreciate the recommendation in your remarks, talking about the summit in Quebec in October. Being a temporary member of this committee, filling in for Mr. Allen, who is taking advantage of me, I believe that parliamentary committees need to take full advantage of their sources and significant opportunities like this one.
One of the issues for me on some of the legislation, Bill C-38, for example, which came before the finance committee, is that we felt we didn't have the opportunity to do our due diligence, the due diligence that Canadians expect. I hope the committee will take advantage of that opportunity.
You made some recommendations in reports. In fact, both of your organizations, combined with some others, made some recommendations in the pre-budget hearings. It looks to me like the government didn't really take advantage of that advice. What's your view of that?
