Thank you.
I will, of course, be asking my questions in French.
My colleague said that he was pleased to see that our cooperatives are doing well. I find that interesting, but I think that we have to be careful not to take it for granted. One of the functions of this committee is to ensure that the federal government is proactive, that our cooperatives remain healthy and that they become strong.
Mr. Lapointe and Mr. Archer, could you tell us what obstacles stand in the way of starting cooperatives in the area of health, for example?
