moved for leave to introduce Bill C-289, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (child adoption expenses).
Mr. Speaker, this is a very exciting bill that has had broad support across the country.
This bill would allow those who wished to adopt children to tax deduct up to $7,000 of the expenses that are directly applicable to adopting children in this country of many parents who want to adopt and many children who want to be adopted. This is one vehicle that would help that process come to fruition and it would benefit our kids.
