Quebec has tried to have incentives to bring up the birth rate which is the lowest in the Americas. Its is both short sighted and stupid idea.
The only people who will be seduced into having a kid with money are the ones who need the money and are probably also the ones who can least afford to have one.
It also discourages people from using birth control as $6000 could be the pot at the end of the potential rainbow especially for those who have a child and give it right up for adoption when born.
Children should only be born to parents who want children regardless of income. Raising a child should be a serious well thought decision not considered a short term monetary investment.
