Mr. Speaker, this stupid decision is nothing less than an attack on investment, savings and job creation in Quebec.
The vice-president of the Fonds de solidarité, Denis Leclerc, clearly stated that it does not make any sense for the Conservative government to eliminate this important program that encourages workers to save.
The CEO of Fondaction, Léopold Beaulieu, indicated that the only way that many people with low incomes can save for their retirement is to contribute to a labour-sponsored fund.
Sixty percent of the money from these funds is used to start small businesses in the regions. Why do the Conservatives want to attack Quebec's jobs and small businesses?
