In a context marked by economic insecurity, the housing crisis, and rising living costs, Canadians are looking for greater stability, control, and fairness. This new national research, conducted by Abacus Data with CMC and CHF Canada, shows why the co‑operative model resonates more than ever. Built on collective ownership, shared power, and strong community roots, co‑operatives emerge as a concrete and credible response to today’s challenges — and a model Canadians want to see grow.
CMC and Government Relations
As a part of its purpose, CMC regularly advocates for the co-operative and mutual sector at the federal level to ensure the ecosystem’s voice is being heard. Furthermore, CMC monitors federal government activities, funding announcements and emerging issues. It also regularly meets with Members of Parliament, Senators, political staff, departmental officials, and other public policy leaders to discuss sector priorities and to raise awareness on opportunities and concerns. CMC also works with its Members and partners to keep them informed and engaged.
