moved for leave to introduce Bill C-222, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (deduction of expenses incurred by a mechanic for tools required in employment).
Mr. Speaker, the purpose of this bill is to permit mechanics to deduct the cost of providing tools for their employment.
For the benefit of my colleagues, I should point out that during the previous parliament, this bill passed second reading, members supported it by a vote of 180 against only 11. So, my purpose today is to ensure that this bill is deemed adopted immediately, if possible.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
