| 151 | Stacy Nichols | This is especially in light of the fact that the government made an exception in the case to the JDSU employees at christmas time |
| 152 | Jim Courtney | Obviously a problem for the unsuspecting. To help understand the issue such that a better case can be built, it would be useful to know what tax loopholes, if any, may be opened up by making these changes and why, from a Revenue Canada perspective, they have not recommended a change before now. |

| 160 | Angus Maclaren | This law seems very unfair to people who work very hard to develope companies and products to improve the economics of Canada. |
| 161 | Ean Jackson | This review is long overdue. The current policy discourages entrepreneurship, which I do not feel is the intent of government |

| 163 | Alex Perklin | Options should be viewed as a vital element in the creation of a vibrant IT industry. Common sense should prevail based on an understanding that any cash tax payments should be associated with a realized cash benefit [e.g., at disposition?]. |

| 171 | Thomas Gordon O'Flaherty | I can accept a tax on actual gains, where the funds are available for paying tax. However, "paper gains" like this make no sense |
| 172 | Tam Ngo | This is an unfair tax and politicians need to fix this immediately! |
| 173 | Anonymous | I am effected by this issue. |

| 180 | Shirley Ivan | Thanks for your attention to this matter.
As a respectible Canadian, I paid my taxes as I was instructed to do. However, have always felt it was unjust to tax me for money I never made.
I had left Nortel had to exercise my options. Still believing it was a great company and not in any need for immediate cash, I bought the stocks and put them into my account. Who new the stock would go down to less than I paid??? |

| 182 | Jonathan Back | This is clearly unfair, no profit was made, so why tax it? |
| 183 | Anonymous | Some of my friends have been victim of this barbarian law. It must go before it destroys so many families. |
| 184 | Christopher Kubash | I am personally affected by this issue. I exercised options of Scientific Atlanta (SFA) when I left the company. SA was subsequently sold at a far lower price. I am now on the hook for a phantom gain. Why do I not deserve the same treatment as other Canadians in the same position? |

| 187 | Iain Harris | The CRA and Finance have already given selective relief to favoured parties such as JDS Uniphase.
Clearly, others are affected but without the same political inflence.
In the interest of tax fairness, the benefit must be treated as a taxable capital gain, which is available as an offset in the case of a realized capital loss. |

| 191 | Xiang (Sean) Zhu | I have been waiting for this petition for a long time. I believe that there are lots of people there who are in the similar situation and don't know CFET. It is fortunate for me to read an article in Ottawa Business Journal. Let us do something to save lifes and families of many hard working tax payers! |
| 192 | Bruce Lounds | This is an unfair approach to taxation and needs to be corrected. |

| 196 | Jim Murphy | This is a core issue of fairness for individuals and a wet blanket on tech business development in Canada. |
| 197 | Kathy Butler | |
| 198 | Randall Howard | This regressive tax situation predominates in future-oriented, knowledge-based companies and their employees and executives. As a result, this is one more component of a regulatory and tax fabric which make it harder for us to be internationally competitive in this all-important sector. |
