It would make it legal for a child to donate. The only difference is that the tax donation would not be in the name of the child, it would be in the name of the parent.
The point is that children should not be donating. That's the point, and I think that's what most Canadians get from this. I think the outrage that you displayed is where you've captured the hearts and minds. And I don't think that most Canadians would agree that it's okay for a child to donate as long as that donation is ticked off in the parent's name. No, I simply cannot support this.
If members of this committee are worried that should this amendment and subamendment be defeated then there is absolutely no age limit, I'm sure we could get consent to revisit my amendment and possibly amend it so that there is an age limit--possibly 16--that would make members more comfortable. I'm sure most Canadians would agree that was reasonable.
