moved for leave to introduce Bill C-430, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (child care expenses).

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill. I would like to thank, in passing, my colleague, the member for Laurentides.

Essentially, this bill would allow a person carrying on an active business on a regular and continuous basis—basically, independent workers—to be exempted from the general rule by which the spouse with the lower income can deduct child care expenses.
