Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-212, An Act to amend the Income tax Act (in-home care of relatives).
Mr. Speaker, as everybody knows, there is quite a sandwich generation in this country where individuals are looking after their children as well as looking after their seniors. In many cases, some seniors are infirm with various ailments and concerns.
We believe that any expenses incurred by those individuals should be tax deductible. We also believe they should be allowed time off work to provide care so that seniors and people with certain disabilities have the opportunity to stay at home and be cared for by their loved ones.
