Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm pleased to present amendment NDP-1.
What this would do is eliminate the stock option deduction, essentially moving from half of the amount of the benefit to zero, which means the benefit is eliminated. It's very controversial, of course, because it goes to upper-income earners.
We have proposed other ways to support start-up companies. We have seen, of course, that it is CEO millionaires who preponderantly benefit from this particular approach. The amendment would seek to eliminate that. We, of course, would be looking to provide start-up support that is more targeted to job creation.
