Employment insurance already has a similar option in work-sharing, which is being done. That's available. However, the problem that businesses have is that often employees don't want to sit around doing nothing. That's why I think that an interesting solution is a federal and provincial tax credit, which becomes an even larger tax credit when combined, that gives money to businesses so they can invest in machinery.
Canada is seriously lagging in productivity because we have a shortage of robotics. We don't have enough AI. We don't have enough cutting-edge technology. It is imperative that we invest in that, since we have capacity that is available. We could use that to set up new technologies in the factory.
That's in a context where businesses are under pressure. We can't just give them 10%. We have to make it a little more generous to make it worthwhile.
