The point of this bill is to grow our cooperative sector. Similar legislation has successfully been implemented at the regional level in the past (specifically, in the Midwest), so I have no doubt that it will work even better at the federal level.

I object.

The point of section 2 is to make sure we have a strong cooperative sector by setting aside federal contracts for cooperatives.

Because the cooperative model is less exploitative than the run of the mill capitalist enterprise.

Nay

I'd like to think that building enterprises with workers' control is a compelling pubic interest.

'I don't believe it's our role to promote a particular form of business organization'

Except that you do, because not promoting co-ops means spending federal dollars on contracts with non-cooperative enterprises.

I don't see much else getting done here. I motion for a final vote.
