| 115 | Rob Morse | I simply didn't understand that when they said tax deferral it didn't work the same as RRSP's. I actually owed $47,000 in taxes before I even received the shares by courier! If all Canadians are equal, why have some been let off?
I thought taxation was a way to share wealth - not my life savings. |

| 125 | David Edmonds | I have been involved in over 10 start up's and in each case the ability to use stock options as a key part of attracting employees to join the company was instrumental in our success. This tax is punitive and regressive and punishes those people willing to take a risk with new ventures. I would hope that the Government of Canada wants to reward these innovators not punish them. Action needs to be taken to address this punitive tax issue immediately. |

| 127 | Barry Cullen | Canadian Taxpayers are usually mobile workers and Canadian Tax laws must remain competitive with USA or else workers will seek employment in US locations. Key Knowledge workers are the prime asset and future foundation of Canadian Jobs and Job Development.-----DO NOT KILL THE GOLDEN GOOSE. |

| 131 | Anonymous | I am a chartered accountant in public practice and have many clients adversly effected by this. Whats even more unfair is that a group of employees in Victoria (JDS Uniphase) were given special relief.
Where is the equity in this? |

| 137 | Denis Connor | This problem has arisen in our company as part of a policy we had to encourage people to be owners of shares in the company. They now have serious liabilities as a result of this ownership plan. |

| 139 | Anonymous | This does seem an unfair situation when people are incurring a tax liability without any associated benefit. |

| 143 | Mark Sestak | Stock options are a key incentive to drive entrepeneurship in Canada. They need to be treated fairly tax-wise. |
| 144 | Paul E Shim | I would have to die first before selling the shares as to do otherwise would be wipe out my retirement income with taxes owed on money I never received. This is like living with an anvil over my head. |

| 146 | Graham Ireland | I was employed at JDSU as a Mechanical Engineer and received a number of stock options. In my retirement this unfair tax has left me in in danger of losing my home and property. I have been working with CRA to resolve my tax debt by other means but with little success to date. Meanwhile the debt continues to grow. |

| 148 | Nick Scholte | I've been working in the investment industry - and advising clients - for the past decade, and have come across many individuals who have been seriously harmed by this ill conceived taxation. I am aware of some of the nuances as to why the taxation was thought to be prudent, but I am also aware of the many-fold more reasons as to why it has been indiscriminately damaging - both to individuals who have faced ruin as an innocent consequence to their actions, as well as to new/young/growing businesses trying to attract and keep talent. As the petition states, there are many viable approaches for remedying the situation while still adhering to the principle of "fair taxation". |

| 150 | William Switzer | As a victim of taxes owing on income never received, I clearly support the need for a retroactive fix to the legislation than has placed me in a situation that my MP has described as "unconscionable". I do not believe that our MPs ever intended the legislation to penalize citizens. I doubt that the circumstances that have created this situation were ever thought about. It is conceptually an easy fix. |
