The point I was trying to make is about who regulates the co-operative movement with regard to the amount of milk leveraged in a fixed-price milk contract. Mr. Flanagan has said the society has no remit when it comes to regulating the industry. There could be a scenario where a farmer might offer 100% of milk, technically. Is there something we could do as a committee in that regard, such as putting a cap on it or dealing directly with the co-operative movement? What do the witnesses see as the appropriate leveraging of quotas over a three-year period?
