Petitions April 25th, 1995

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to present a petition on behalf of 61 people in Deloraine, Manitoba. The petition calls on the government to amend the Income Tax Act to provide a child care expense deduction that is available to all families, regardless of the income level of the parents, the amount of child care expenses incurred, or the form of child care chosen.

As members will be aware, my private member's bill, C-247, did just that. It is too bad that the government chose to defeat it, largely because of special interest group agendas and the fact that stay at home parents do not provide tax revenues for government coffers.
