Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present my petition to eliminate the tax on essential baby products.
In my opinion, lots of products, such as frozen pizzas and maraschino cherries, are not essential. There is no federal tax on those products, but people have to pay tax on essential baby products such as diapers. I think it is only logical to get rid of the tax on basic baby care items, as well as breastfeeding products as a way to promote breastfeeding in Canada.
I sincerely hope that members will heed the petitioners and eliminate the federal tax on these products.
