moved for leave to introduce Bill C-395, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (child care expenses).

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill which seeks to help families, where one of the spouses operates a business or is an independent worker, by allowing the spouse with the higher income to claim the child care expenses.
