Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt in my mind that these funds, which can be found across Canada, are meeting a very important need. As a Quebecer, I am very proud of the fact that, out of the $4 billion available from this source, $2 billion are available in Quebec.
This being said, now that these funds are well established, and since some of the money has not yet been invested, the vast majority of experts and provinces agree that these advantages should be reduced as they are very costly for taxpayers. This money could be used to stimulate job creation elsewhere, through a youth program, for instance.
