We came up with the idea of a trust fund because, like all Canadians who pay taxes, we worry about financial difficulties and the ensuing burden. We were looking for new solutions to this problem.
The first advantage of the trust fund, as we see it, is that the money would not be paid to the SNA, but it would stay with the federal government’s assets. Of course, we have to think about the uncertainty of interest rates, but this fund would allow us to have stable and ongoing core funding, about which we wouldn’t need to constantly worry from one year to the next. Our main goal is to find new approaches to secure the funding of our organization.
