The Green Party of P.E.I. is putting forward an inclusive vision for the Island’s economy by supporting small and local businesses and community organizations.

A Green government would establish an independently managed $2 million micro-loan program to support entrepreneurs and businesses.

Unsecured micro-loans ranging from $500 to $5,000 would offer a unique way of helping those who might not need or qualify for a conventional loan.

The Green party also recognizes the value of the nonprofit sector to Islanders and would spend $2.5 million in 2019/2020, and up to $3.5 million in 2020/2021, to provide consistent and sufficient core operational funding to allow these organizations to focus on their mandate.

The party would additionally spend $500,000 annually to fund the Community Sector Network and establish a community sector secretariat.
