moved for leave to introduce Bill C-418, an act to amend the Canada Shipping Act (definitions of child and infant).
This bill is aimed at amending sections 652 and 660, including section 6.1, regarding the definition of infant. The enactment defines child and infant as persons who are less than 18 years of age, so that these terms, when found in the Canada Shipping Act, be interpreted according to the definition of "child" proposed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
