Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I want to thank each of the witnesses for their very informative answers and comments. You are confirming the fact that the cooperative movement allows the economy to serve members and communities, and you've done a good job of articulating that.
I would like to pick up on a few things: how important the ability to start up new cooperatives is, what role the federal government should play in terms of helping them set up shop and how that could in turn address youth or regional employment problems.
Mr. Inglis, could you comment on the importance of having new cooperatives enter the market and the ways in which that could address certain challenges?
