It's interesting. This point is moving along to the question I had when I read the briefing notes that were prepared for us by June and Alexandra. I'd like to know if I'm going down the right road here with this concern:
In order to claim the deduction, Bill C-219 would require the taxpayer to provide a certificate, issued by the appropriate municipality or other authority, certifying that the hours of volunteer emergency service were performed. Volunteer emergency service would include time spent in training and in carrying out any related duties requested by the authority issuing the certificate. Furthermore, a taxpayer could not claim the proposed deduction in a taxation year in which the taxpayer had already deducted, under section 81(4) of the Income Tax Act, an amount related to payments received from an employer for the performance of volunteer emergency services.
Was that relating at all to the so-called double-dipping you're thinking of?
