View answerThe policies and programmes administered by my Department and agencies recognise and make provision for all forms of business association including the co-operative form of association. This form of association is particularly relevant to the development of the social economy in addition to the contribution it has made over the years to the agricultural, fishing, credit union, public utility and community development sectors.
