After taking the time to review the legislation in Deputy Prime Minister @cafreeland's recent Budget Bill, we are ready to celebrate. 🎉👏. Employee Ownership Trusts are well on their way to being a reality in 🇨🇦. This is a big win for workers and local communities!

The @OntarioCofC's 2024 pre-Budget submission is forward looking - it recommends the province start work on an Employee Ownership policy framework. With federal legislation almost in place, it's time for provinces to think about their own policy levers.

Lisa Taylor (@changepaths) in the @TorontoStar explains how Employee Ownership Trusts could disproportionately benefit women entrepreneurs. But only - as she notes - if the government steps up with robust incentives in the upcoming Budget. 👇.

We've seen what a similar policy has accomplished in the UK. Since 2014, they've created over 1500 majority employee-owned companies. Last year, between 5-10% of all private business sales were to employees. In Canada, this could mean 15-20K Canadian worker-owners annually!.
