Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit
- The Canadian Co-operative Investment Fund (CCIF) was launched in late 2017. CCIF is an investment fund to develop co-operatives. $25 million has been invested by co-operatives, and the co-operative sector is requesting an matching investment from the federal government. It is not a donation; it is an investment in a loan fund that will loan money to growing co-operatives.
Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
- Motion 100 was unanimously passed in early 2017, but no action has been taken by the government to develop the strategy around co-operatives at the national level (development of a strategy was the essence of Motion 100). Therefore, meetings with MPs are to encourage them to support the co-operative industries desire to see a strategy developed and implemented by the federal government.
