The Atlantic Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Kevin Lacey tells CHSJ News it smacks of desperation on the part of the provincial government and calls it a race to the bottom, saying if you do it for one company, other firms will expect subsidies as well.
Lacey also points out T-D isn't exactly strapped for cash having reported a profit of 1.6 billion dollars.
He says a better long term strategy is to create a workforce who are so skilled, companies will want to set up shop to take advantage of their skills.
