Thank you, Chair.
I'm actually going to be able to get back and ask that question now. But first of all, I have to say that my wife and I are members of a credit union, and certainly from that standpoint we do participate in the credit unions. My wife is also a member of the Medicine Hat Co-op, which supplies gasoline, medications, and food. I can tell you that with her membership we quite often celebrate when we get our substantial dividend cheque. Of course, part of that is reinvested.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that there are different types of co-ops. For example, in my riding we have an organization called the Red Hat Co-operative Ltd. I don't know if you're aware of it, but there are a number of greenhouses that come together and sell their product to the Red Hat Co-op, which in turn distributes it across western Canada to all the major food stores. That's another great success story from our riding.
However, I just wanted to get back to Mr. Malloy. I know you talked about the high dollar, and my colleague Ms. Gallant talked about some investment in terms of high-technology. I'm just wondering, has your organization invested in new equipment, and has it been able to increase productivity? Has that helped you to compete?
