Incentives are absolutely critical for young Canadians. They need to know that if they're going to work hard and be diligent, they're going to be rewarded with success and not be penalized. A lot of what we hear in terms of policies that flow from the income inequality discussion is that we're going to tax those who earn more on their income, but what we're doing is we're sending a very negative signal for younger Canadians, because we know from the research we've done that those people will be in the top in due time. We don't want to reduce their incentive to get there.
