Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I sense the context of what the honourable Member is trying to convey, but I think that in some areas there is no such requirement for business licences, and I think that business licences are issued in areas of profit making more than public services, and I do not see this as a profit-making venture. It is something that falls outside of that category, and I see no need for obtaining business licences -- certainly not in advance. If an institution or a group wishes to get together to form a co-operative or something like that in order to make profit off of this particular service, then I suspect they would have to comply with the business requirements of that community; but, in general, I do not see that as a requirement.
