| 210 | William T Moore | When employed at JDS Uniphase in Ottawa, this affected many of the staff but particularly the lower salaried and less financially savvy technical support workers. These people are also the ones who are least able to cope with paying off the large tax bills. |

| 227 | Anonymous | Absolutely unfair - paid taxes on stock purchase program for Nortel that are 700% underwater. |

| 229 | Brent Holliday | This is an easy fix... The employees at SDL Optics have set the example. |

| 231 | Ching Chen | I fully support this petition. The last I, as a Canadian taxpayer, want to see is to tax people unfairly. Please fix the law. |

| 233 | Anonymous | I was in US at the time, already retired from Nortel after 25 years of work and exercised some stock options with advice to retain them. On that absis I found out later that I had to pay about $167,000 in taxes on paper shares that I still have at a value of less than $2,800.
This is highly unfair and unequitable as I had to loose all my savings and some of the RRSP in order to cover the tax on fictitious gains. Only real gains (on actual sale of shares) should be taxable, not immaterial variations in price. |

| 239 | Anonymous | I fought my $160K income tax bill for two years and then gave up in despair. Had to claim bankruptcy. I never defaulted on a payment in my life but now my credit rating is mud. Even more infuriating considering the relief that CRA provided to JDS Uniphase employees.

| 248 | Michael Young | It makes no sense to charge tax until a gain is realized. This is why we have capital gains taxes. Unrealized employee benefits should not be taxed or assessed until realized. If we treated capital gains this way, it would kill investment in Canada due the burden of servicing the tax burden. |
