Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to present the electronic version of petition e-1482. I presented the paper version, with 924 signatures, a few weeks ago.
Last spring, Ottawa was hit by historic flooding. The petition calls on the government to consider the possibility of amending the Income Tax Act, specifically the section on RRSPs, so that victims of natural disasters can withdraw their personal savings to rebuild their homes without incurring immediate penalties.
