What they're lobbying on (5)Hide details
- Providing comparable tax incentives for sales of conventional businesses to worker cooperatives as for sales to employee ownership trusts.
- 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
- 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.
- Creation of a program for business transfer to worker-owned co-operatives, as well as a technical assistance program to facilitate worker co-op development.
- 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
