Tax Credit for Auxiliary Police Officers on line Today.

https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-29

The e petition is on line and available for signatures until May 7, 2016 at which time the Sponsor M.P.  Mel Arnold will present it to parliament.

Petition to the Government of Canada

• Whereas:
• The previous government instituted a tax credit for Volunteer Firemen in 2011 and a similar tax treatment for Volunteer Search and Rescue in 2014; and
• An Auxiliary Constable is an unarmed, unpaid, uniformed RCMP volunteer whose activities are governed under provincial legislation.

We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, request (or call upon) the Government of Canada to extend a tax credit to Auxiliary Police Officers similar to that already given to Volunteer FireFighters and Search and Rescue volunteers.
