Okay, thank you.
Canada's IP regime is not comparable with that of the other OECD nations. We need to create an IP regime that is consistent with others. I think the government should think about lower tax rates for revenue generated from intellectual property, relative to any other revenue.
There are two more areas where we need to engage with government. One is the SR and ED tax credit. It was reduced under the previous government. The government needs to revisit this decision and restore the tax credit.
Second is stock options. There is a tax consideration here. It is the only way we can attract, retain, and reward the top talent.
Finally, there is the Canada Health Infoway, which is critical for digital health. I think this needs to be looked at from a recapitalization point of view.
Mr. Chair, these actions will allow Canadians to access the prosperity and opportunity of the digital economy, which will fuel growth through Canada's innovation agenda.
Thank you.
