To foster job creation and stimulate investment by Québec SMEs, in particular to foster the adoption of greener, less carbon-intensive production methods, the government is announcing a reduction, effective January 1, 2015, of the HSF contribution rate for SMEs in the primary and manufacturing sectors whose payroll is less than $5 million.

The employment insurance premium rates are 1.53% in Quebec and 1.88% outside of Quebec as indicated on the Canada Revenue Agency website.
