Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit
- Creating a Canadian Cooperative Development Fund. Cofunded by the federal government and the cooperative sector. This Fund would provide large and medium sized capitalization loans to new and existing cooperatives
- The creation of a federal Cooperative Investment Plan which would provide a federal tax credit for cooperative members and employees who invest in producer (such as agriculture, fishery, forestry) and employee owned cooperatives
Regulation
- Self-directed RRSP rules re: prohibited investments. We continue to seek to have the rule changes made in 2011 reversed or mitigated, as they affect worker co-ops.
