Quebec: Family-friendly policy
-
Longueuil, Que. — Premier Bernard Landry made a pitch Friday to increase Quebec's low birthrate with an offer to reimburse 50 per cent of student loans to people who have children within five years of finishing their studies. :wtf: The announcement is another family-friendly policy from the Parti Quebecois government, which has already promised parents with young children a four-day work week and more day-care spaces for $5 a day. :eek: Quebec premier hopes to boost Quebec birthrate[^] Follow live World Cup Cricket scores here[^]

What is Cricket?[^]Yay! That's one thing the world is short of: People. There's only 6,500,000,000 of us now; we're in danger of extinction. Those willing to trade liberty for security deserve neither - Benjamin Franklin

Apparently noone wants to live in Quebec. Who could blame them? It has the disadvantage of containing a lot of French people without the advantage of actually being France. -Jack

Even with Canada's liberal immigration policy and lame refugee policy it's not helping Quebec, as new immigrants target Ontario, err Toronto.

I wonder why it's still part of Canada. :~ Follow live World Cup Cricket scores here[^]

What is Cricket?[^]While I'm all for parents spending more time with their children, keeping them from becoming mass murderers in later life and such, but I don't think this will really help in the long run. The economy of quebec will suffer as businesses will resent having to give the parents the extra day off and will either raise prices to cover the costs, or just out-right leave. Then Daddy will have 7 days off instead of 3, and little Pierre and Marie-Louise will be spending the extra time with mommy on an empty stomach. Besides that, many parents will simply work the "day off" in fear of reprisal from childless coworkers. If you give one employee the day off, you have to give it to them all, or that's discrimination. Then what will happen to the province? As it is businesses are darn near bankrupt jumping through all the hoops to accomdate the language laws. Just my semi-informed opinion. Feel free to disregard it.
