CEE and CDE both require companies to spend money and then they dont pay tax on the amount they spend until it is recovered.
Eliminating these subsidies generally just means the companies won't invest as much and jobs go down the drain. Nothing will be 'saved'.
Trying to paint it as sending money from Quebec is just ludicrous when Alberta sends billions upon billions of equalization every year. Equalization made from oil investment and production.
