Therefore, we Canadian civil society organizations, who work for public
welfare, call on our federal government to revive the powers of the Bank of Canada to provide funding to all levels of government in Canada, largely with interest - free loans, as was done between 1938 and 1974 with very low inflation, enabling our nation to
break out of the Great Depression, to shoulder extraordinary responsibilities during World War II, and to prosper while building our infrastructure and highly valued
social programs during some thirty post-war years.
