Ms Teodora Corcoran:
We did not go as far as that because in reality, some entities registered under the Companies Act might be co-ops because there is no limit on the minimum number of members. If they needed to set up a co-op with fewer than seven members, they might have used the corporate model. We did not go as far as that because some of them are co-operatives in nature.
