Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure on this day to see the blue ribbon honouring Canada's peacekeepers.
Pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present two petitions. The first concerns taxation of the family and it comes from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that managing the family home and caring for preschool children is an honourable profession which has not been recognized for its value to our society.
The petitioners therefore pray and call on Parliament to pursue initiatives to eliminate tax discrimination against families that provide care in the home for preschool children, the chronically ill, the aged or the disabled.
