Mr. Speaker, Terry Matthews is a very constructive analyst and commentator on the problems and opportunities of his industry.
Indeed, as the member for Nepean has pointed out, his goals in terms of growth for his industry are similar to the governments. However, the proposal does raise certain questions. First, should we provide tax breaks for stock options for one segment of industry and not for another? Second, are tax breaks for stock options more important than personal income tax reductions?
I look forward to meeting with Mr. Matthews in the very near future in order to discuss these questions.
