While you are not making anything up, the fact remains that in Ontario, 30% of employees work outside headquarters. Do you realize just how disadvantaged Quebec is by the situation that you call historic? You are not alone. In research, it is horribly similar.
If I examine this, I see that given the number of people filing taxes in Quebec, there is a shortfall of 5,000 employees in the province. That represents $350 million per year. In terms of buildings and maintenance, one could say that there is a half-a-billion-dollar shortfall in Quebec each year. That is huge.
