Thank you very much for that.
That they are a preferable business model is certainly something that I'd be interested in saying but perhaps have held back from saying that because I don't want to be pejorative in any way. Studies have shown that five years out, half as many co-ops fail as regular businesses. Certainly, I think the business case is made right there that they are more economically stable.
The Alberta gas co-ops, in their opening remarks, had mentioned that as well, that the federal government needed to recognize that fact. Do you believe there is a disconnect currently, such that perhaps the federal government doesn't understand the power of co-ops?
