moved for leave to introduce Bill C-443, an act to amend the Criminal Code (definition of child).
Mr. Speaker, this will be part of a series of bills that I have introduced. The purpose of it is to make this legislation in conformity with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This will ensure that a family is responsible for a child until the age of 18.
