Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being with us this afternoon. Their input is quite enlightening.
I am very familiar with the cooperative world in Quebec. I was glad to hear you talk about the history of cooperatives in the Atlantic provinces.
Over the past 25 years, Quebec has seen many cooperative mergers, whether it be savings and credit unions or farming cooperatives in the regions. Small cooperatives would join forces with two others, then four.
Have you seen a similar trend in the Atlantic provinces in recent years?
