As regards the social utility trust, everyone is familiar with the concept of trusts. In the Centre-du-Québec region, we do not have conservation organizations that can buy or accept lands. That is a problem, particularly for the purpose of implementing our federal ecological donations program. We want to establish this trust, which can also receive funding from large businesses wishing to give money for conservation purposes. This also involves establishing an organization that will be able to monitor wetland developments across the region.
However, being a trust requires you to be a charity. It has to grants tax credits. This status is quite difficult to obtain at the federal level. We are working to solve that problem.
