Why do I get tax credits when I contribute to the Fonds de solidarité FTQ?

The governments have agreed to offer these tax credits to encourage Quebec workers to invest with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ so that it can pursue its essential economic mission.
The governments agreed to provide you with a tax incentive to support the Fonds’ economic mission. That's why the RRSP+ offers an additional 30% in tax savings* over and above the standard RRSP deduction.
