moved to introduce Bill C-456, an act to amend the Excise Tax Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased today to introduce a bill whose purpose is to amend the Excise Tax Act so that disposable and fabric diapers are exempted from the GST. I think that it is totally unacceptable that children's diapers should be taxed, as this is an essential need for families, children and also for parents.
I believe that this measure can help families in a concrete way. I invite all my colleagues to support this bill.
