moved for leave to introduce Bill C-417, an act to amend the Canada Health Act (definition of child).
Madam Speaker, this bill, aimed at amending the Canada Health Act with respect to the definition of child, defines a child as a person who is less than 18 years of age, so that the federal legislation be interpreted according to the definition of "child" proposed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
