moved for leave to introduce Bill C-414, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (wages of apprentices).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce my private member's bill, an act to amend the Income Tax Act.
The purpose of the bill is to allow an employer a tax credit equal to the wages paid by the employer to a person hired as an apprentice. This deduction could only be made upon completion of the full term of the apprenticeship with the employer.
I look forward to debating the bill in the House and I look forward to the support of my colleagues.
