moved for leave to introduce Bill C-416, an act to amend the Canada Business Corporations Act (definitions of infant and minor).
Madam Speaker, this bill is aimed at amending the Canada Business Corporations Act with respect to the definitions of infant and minor.
This enactment defines infant and minor as persons who are less than 18 years of age, so that the federal legislation be interpreted according to the definition of "child" proposed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
