moved for leave to introduce Bill C-426, an act to amend the Canada Cooperative Associations Act (definition of infant).
Madam Speaker, in the act, when we refer to children we use the word "infant", not "child". Therefore, this bill seeks to amend subsection 3(1) of the Canada Cooperative Associations Act by adding the following in the alphabetical order: ""infant" means an individual who is less than eighteen years of age".
The purpose of this amendment is to ensure consistency in the act by specifying that a child is a person who is under 18 years of age.
