Employee ownership trusts a promising new model to keep businesses and property in Canada

OpinionBY ISG SENATOR TONY LOFFREDA

The benefits of legislating EOTs into our Income Tax Act are plentiful. When businesses are sold to their employees, it helps support local economies and protect jobs, and it contributes to employee wealth. In this age of increasing affordability challenges, building wealth for Canadian workers is a great way of mitigating inequality.

But it will take hard choices, not hype, to succeed. Leadership is about hard choices, not sugar-coating the changes that must be made, writes David Crane. *The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade*
