Fine. I understood that it was for 2025.
The other unkept promise, which was a very clear one, was the one about stock options. You at least mentioned that in the budget, and I have to recognize that.
In your budget statement, you mentioned that this was a highly regressive measure. You admit that the measure is regressive, and even include very clear figures in your budget. I will mention them so that people who are listening to us understand well.
In 2017, 2,330 individuals who earned more than $1 million a year shared $1.3 billion in tax advantages related to stock options. And then there were 20,140 individuals who earned less than $200,000 a year, who shared $120 million thanks to that measure. In your own words, this is a highly regressive measure.
The only thing you did in the budget, even though this relates to a 2015 promise, is say that you would examine the issue and make an announcement next summer. Bill C-97, which we are now studying, was your opportunity to change the Income Tax Act to finally correct it and provide that fairness.
Why did you again postpone a promise you made to Canadians, and which you have still not kept four years later, and are postponing again?
