Mr. Pitura moved:
Resolution No. 23: New Generation Co-operatives
WHEREAS for agricultural producers, new generation co-operatives can provide economic benefits by creating market opportunities for their products and a chance to share in the growth and profits of their co-operative; and WHEREAS the concept of new generation co-operatives is potentially well-suited to Manitoba by helping producers adjust to major transportation reforms while providing opportunities to add value to their products, such as the creation of co-op processing facilities that are located in close proximity to where the commodity is grown; and WHEREAS the development of new generation co-operatives was recommended by the previous government’s Working for Value Task Force; and WHEREAS in 1998, the Provincial Government introduced changes to the Manitoba Co-operatives Act that would make it easier for co-operatives to raise capital by allowing them to issue shares with growth potential; and WHEREAS the former Progressive Conservative government made it possible for agricultural producers to get financing for shares in new generation co-operatives through the Manitoba Agricultural Credit Corporation (MACC); and WHEREAS new generation co-ops could provide the potential to stimulate local employment, increase the demand for local service industries and generate other economic spinoff benefits for rural Manitoba. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba urge the Provincial Government to recognize the important role new generation co-operatives could play in developing opportunities for value-added processing of agricultural products in this province; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba urge the Provincial Government to consider taking steps to actively promote programs related to the creation of new generation co-operatives and to consider providing technical assistance to groups interested in establishing new generation co-operatives; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba urge the Provincial Government to consider examining other types of development initiatives suited to growing economic opportunities in rural Manitoba.
And a debate arising,
And Mr. Pitura, Hon. Ms. Mihychuk, Messrs. Maguire and Struthers and Hon. Ms. Wowchuk having spoken,
