I move that Bill C-30, in clause 2, be amended by adding, after line 2 on page 2, the following:
(4) Within six months after the day on which this section comes into force, the Minister of Labour in collaboration with the Minister of Finance must table a report in each House of Parliament, on any of the first fifteen days on which that House is sitting after the report is made, that includes:
(a) the expected number of tradespeople eligible for the labour mobility deduction as amended under this section;
(b) the average benefit received by eligible tradespeople under the modified labour mobility deduction; and
(c) the regional distribution of claims made under the modified labour mobility deduction.
The reasoning behind this is that we'd like to get a bit more transparency and clarity to see how much people from each region are getting. In the future, if this program is something to keep, then we'll know the regional distribution. Otherwise, if it's something that isn't working out, then there's more clarity on how much money went out and why it's not working out. I think it's a good way for us to show transparency for this program. That's why we're moving this amendment forward.
Thank you.
