Tandis qu'il est important de fournir une protection sociale aux couches les plus vulnérables de la population, les efforts déployés pour préserver une entreprise ou un secteur non compétitifs sont à long terme voués à l'échec - et, en attendant, imposent des coûts injustifiés aux contribuables et aux consommateurs.
