II. That the Government support CWCF’s Building Community Resiliency Program to maintain and create jobs and businesses, primarily through conversions to worker co-operatives, with a focus on equity-denied groups.
III. That the Government amend the Income Tax Act to create tax fairness for worker co-operatives.
