Thank you very much.
I think we should start timing the chair. I think he's cutting us all off.
I'll go a little further from where Mr. Boughen was going.
The real thought here, and we continue to hear it, is that there needs to be some sort of scope of awareness and education. That seems to be part of it, whether it's between any one of your project businesses or cooperative businesses and ACOA or another government department, or whether it is being recognized as a co-op and how lending or business incentives may work. We've discussed that with more than you, and we've heard that our federal development agencies need to know the differences between a stand-alone not-for-profit, a stand-alone for-profit, and a cooperative, which never stands alone; it's always with more than one person. That education needs to happen.
Dianne, I'm looking at you, because you've said some great things today. But this is for all of you, obviously.
You said that you have a great working relationship with your province on some of the economic development things they're doing. You don't go cap in hand. You say let's work together. It sounds like a cooperative to me.
How do we get the same level of education and awareness? What needs to happen for that to be the same at the federal level? I guess in our case it would be ACOA, but there certainly are other government ministries involved, in the Atlantic provinces, in Nova Scotia, P.E.I, and New Brunswick. How do we ramp up that education?
Dianne, you go first, and then I'll take it from anyone.
