I wanted to go back to this bouncing ball issue of Nortel, JDS Uniphase, etc. I'll direct my questions to Finance rather than Revenue, since Revenue seems to be unable or unwilling to exercise the discretion.
It is absolutely true that equality of treatment under the law is the hallmark of our society. If we have situations where one part of the country receives one tax treatment and another part of the country receives another tax treatment, it's pretty hard to reconcile those two thoughts.
I wanted to ask again, since the bankruptcy of Nortel is imminent and a lot of employees both in Nortel and in other high-tech companies who have received compensation in the form of stock options are going to get clobbered. They're going to absolutely get clobbered, and you're going to be looking at some pretty tragic situations. In fact, you already are looking at tragic situations.
I want to know, flat out, what the Government of Canada is prepared to do about these situations. Is it reasonable to anticipate that these folks will receive the same treatment as the JDS Uniphase folks received?
