%X In the early 2000s, the cooperative movement in Ontario came together in order to lobby its provincial government for active cooperative development support programs. Momentum was building for these types of programs. Already, many provincial governments had implemented active support programs in their jurisdiction. Despite having one of the largest cooperative sectors in Canada, Ontario was lagging behind. This article assesses the progress of the efforts of the Ontario cooperative movement to date. It details how the Ontario cooperative movement developed a sectoral identity for itself and framed its objectives in an effort to strengthen its relationship with the Ontario government. / Le mouvement coop¨¦ratif en Ontario s'est rassembl¨¦ au d¨¦but des ann¨¦es 2000 afin de faire pression sur le gouvernement provincial pour qu'il d¨¦veloppe des programmes de soutient actif pour coop¨¦ratives. D¨¦j¨¤ plusieurs gouvernements provinciaux avaient mis en place de telles politiques. L'Ontario tardait malgr¨¦ le fait qu'il avait un des plus grands secteurs coop¨¦ratifs au Canada. Cet article examine le progr¨¨s qu'a connu le mouvement coop¨¦ratif en Ontario dans ses efforts. Il d¨¦crit comment le mouvement coop¨¦ratif a construit une identit¨¦ sectorielle autour de laquelle il a pu ancrer ses demandes aupr¨¨s du gouvernement ontarien.
