Mr. John Shine:

I agree with the Deputy. There is a lot of potential in that area. It is fair to say that most co-operatives would like to think they are in this space to a greater or lesser extent. For some of them, it may simply be that they are a channel for what is produced, but even that is supportive of the community in the context of providing jobs and employment, funds circulating and whatever. It can go much further in the context of social enterprises, community development, home help services, meals on wheels and a variety of issues like that. The key element, as the Deputy touched on, is that every co-op needs to be aware of this. It is one of the principles of which they need to be reminded. Most would argue that they are in this space to a greater or lesser extent.
