The Co-operatives Secretariat was established within the Government of Canada in 1987 to help the federal government respond more effectively to the concerns and needs of co-operatives. The Secretariat advises the government on policies affecting co-operatives, co-ordinates the implementation of such policies, and encourages use of the co-operative model for the social and economic development of Canada's communities. The Secretariat also provides a link between the co-op sector and the many federal departments and agencies with which they interact. The Co-operatives Secretariat, housed in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is dedicated to economic growth and social development of Canadian society through co-operative enterprise. The mandate of the Cooperatives Secretariat is to: *ensure that the needs of the co-operative sector are taken into account by the federal government, especially in the development of policies and programs. *inform the federal government's key players about the role and the potential of co-operatives in the development of Canadian society and its economy. *foster a beneficial exchange of views among the federal, provincial and territorial governments, co-operatives, academics and other stakeholders engaged in the development of co-operatives. *facilitate interaction between co-operatives and the federal government. *provide governments, key economic stakeholders and the general public with information that promotes an accurate understanding of co-operatives and the co-operative model of enterprise. The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food is responsible for the Cooperatives Secretariat. ==External links== *(Cooperatives Secretariat ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cooperatives Secretariat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
