Unlike some other Committee members, members of the Bloc Québécois believe there should be full population coverage and that it is important that there be quality jobs available in the regions.
It is important to understand that a company operating in a remote area faces higher costs, particularly transportation costs. Consequently, it is often difficult for that company to compete with the salaries being offered in the large cities.
That is why we think that, by providing a tax credit to young graduates living in the regions, we can compensate in part for the company's limited ability to pay, while at the same time fostering full population coverage and allowing our young people to live in the regions.
