据《自然》周刊蒙特利尔消息:几个很有影响的企业集团要求加拿大联邦政府削减所得税,以劝阻加拿大科学家和技术人员向待遇较高地区——尤其是美国——移民。 这些集团认为,现在已是刻不容缓采取行动的时候了。滑铁卢大学计算机科学系主任尼克·瑟孔说,他的240名明春毕业生中.大约有100名将会到美国找工作。另有报告说,多伦多附近谢里丹学院计算机绘图专业的80名毕业生中已经有半数去了美国。 这些企业对自由党政府的一项有争议的政策表示支持,这项政策计划将国家失业救济计划（UI）中多余的资金转拨十亿美元用于减免所得税。 国家失业救济计划每年都会有剩余的资金,过去五年来这笔资金已经累计达到200亿加元（130亿美元）。法律规定应将这种剩余资金用于减少保险金或增加福利待遇。 但政府做的正相反。近年来,福利低了,保险金高了,政府却利用这笔资金来降低其财政赤字。政府甚至还提出修改福利法,以避免降低保险金和增加福利。
According to the “Nature” magazine Montreal: A few influential conglomerates demanded that the Canadian federal government cut its income tax in an effort to discourage Canadian scientists and technicians from relocating to higher-paying jurisdictions, especially the United States. These groups believe it is time to act without delay. Nick Seeron, director of the department of computer science at the University of Waterloo, said that out of 240 of his 240 graduates tomorrow, about 100 will be looking for a job in the United States. It has also been reported that half of the 80 graduates in computer graphics major at Sheridan College near Toronto have already gone to the United States. The companies have voiced their support for a controversial policy by the Liberal government that plans to divert billions of dollars of excess funds from the national unemployment plan (UI) to income tax relief. The National Unemployment Relief Program has surplus funds each year that have accumulated to C $ 20 billion ($ 13 billion) over the past five years. The law stipulates that such surplus funds should be used to reduce the benefits or increase the benefits. But the government does the opposite. In recent years, benefits have been low, insurance premiums have risen, and the government has used the money to reduce its fiscal deficit. The government even proposed amending the Welfare Law to avoid lowering insurance benefits and increasing benefits.
