That is an excellent question.
Unfortunately, those who think that the labour shortage is a good problem are mistaken. The labour shortage has an extremely significant impact on the economy. You cited some examples.
I will begin answering your question and then turn it over to my colleague, Mr. Hamel, who can give you more details about experienced workers.
If Quebec had the same employment rate among experienced workers as Ontario, for example—we often like to compare ourselves with Ontario—as you mentioned, nearly 75,000 additional workers would be on the labour market now and in the future and could contribute to the economic recovery. To do that, tax incentives are needed, such as raising the income ceiling from $5,000 to $20,000 without penalties for their pension benefits. That would certainly be an interesting option.
For example, governments could exempt participating businesses that have experienced workers from paying into the Québec Pension Plan, for example, for the amount allocated to the war effort, if I can call it that, for experienced workers.
That is just one option. I could ask Mr. Hamel to give you others that could be put forward over the short, medium and long term.
If I may, I will now ask Mr. Denis Hamel to finish the answer.
