I want to ask Dr. Carroll and Dr. McCarthy about worker co-operatives as a distinct entity. I am a fan of worker co-operatives. They put the worker at the centre and sustainability is one of the core objectives. We should be doing more of it, if you ask me. The legislation does not recognise or protect worker co-operatives as a distinct legal entity. Do they believe this is a missed opportunity? Is there scope for worker co-operatives to thrive, even within the legislation, without a specific designation?
