But - going forward their will be other & differently-structured challenges the community would want to tackle, and for that, a cooperative might well be a good match. And as Michael said during the board call, some more ptrs on how such a thing would look like in Canada, and also how a potential fully-owned subsidiary could be setup there, would be greatly appreciated!
