“While we support introducing some measures to cut back on bureaucracy that chokes innovation, we cannot in good faith support incentives to move towards automation without taking into account the effects that it may have on the labour force. Measures should be discussed to balance this, such as making it easier for those laid off to found new companies with some government support. In its current measure, we cannot support this.”
Innovation and Future Workforce Act of 2019
