moved:
That, in the opinion of this House, the government of Canada should immediately double the “basic personal deduction” for Canadian taxpayers over the age of 69.
Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to introduce the motion which would double the basic personal exemption for people over the age of 69.
Before I enter into an explanation of the rationale behind the motion, I would like to seek unanimous consent of the House to deem it votable since the subcommittee deemed it non-votable.
