Thank you.
I really appreciate the time you are spending with us this afternoon. I find that I'm learning so much every day, and it's just amazing. This is very valuable information.
I just want to say that we can all agree that co-ops are successful, but when it is said that co-ops are successful and do not need any more government support, I think that's wrong. The cuts to the CDI will really hurt the start-up of new co-ops and the potential future success of them, especially with these difficult economic times we're in.
It makes me really think about the future and the relationship the federal government has with the provinces. Do you think it's adequate? What do you see as the future relationship between the federal government and the provinces? Are we doing enough?
Dianne, could you comment on that?
