Thank you for your presentations. Once again, I want to point out how useful they have been.
We know that 2012 is the International Year of Co-operatives. We know that the CDI will be abolished. It will be increasingly difficult to create and start up new cooperatives. In addition, the data from the Rural and Co-operatives Secretariat will no longer be available.
I think I have listened to your testimony carefully. You feel that new cooperatives will have a hard time and that those budget cuts will harm cooperatives or, perhaps, the creation of future cooperatives.
