I have one comment that I meant to make earlier. I do not mean it to be seen as antagonistic to anybody. Obviously, co-operatives provide economy of scale, but the other point of a co-operative, particularly a workers' co-operative, is to have more worker participation in ownership. There is more than one issue driving this Bill.
