Note to all Liberal MPS who want to get re-elected next time around:

1- you need to collectively rein in your rogue Finance Minister. These proposals will unfairly punish millions of small business owners and professionals who played by the rules and have diligently saved for retirement or a downturn in their businesses. They will not forget this and will actively work to defeat you in the next election.

2- if the tax system is to be reformed, then it should not be done retroactively, and should allow business owners the opportunity to plan for the changes. Also, it should be revenue neutral and not confiscate existing savings. The government will get their taxes when the funds are withdrawn from the company anyway. This is fair and compensates owners for the risk they have taken.

3- Extend the opportunity for income-splitting to salaried employees. The natural economic unit is the family and there should be some recognition of this.

4- Above all: CONTROL GOVERNMENT SPENDING!
