Yes.
In terms of the rationale, as you heard from many of the individuals appearing before your committee, the spectrum of organizations, the spectrum of industries that co-ops are engaged in is extremely broad. It's no longer rural-based or agricultural-based. There are still very deep roots that go into that area, but in terms of the financial cooperatives or credit unions across the country—including caisses populaires—they're deeply immersed in the cities.
In terms of looking at raising the recognition and essentially, maybe, the integration and understanding of the co-op business model throughout government, I think that placement in Industry Canada would make greater sense than saying that co-ops are only small, rurally based organizations. That is truly no longer the case.
You spoke earlier about the Business Development Bank and a general raising of understanding of co-ops. I would argue that they're not just an alternative business model but a preferable model for so many organizations like day cares and so forth, a model whose start-ups have proven to be, I think, statistically more sustainable over time.
It is a matter of raising the awareness and the profile that would be served by moving them under Industry Canada.
