Petition open until May 7, 2016

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

As of this morning we have reached the 500 signature mark that guarantees that our local M.P. Mel Arnold will present this petition in Parliament sometime after the deadline for signatures which is  May 7, 2016, at 3:46 p.m. (EDT).

Please consider signing this petition and passing on the link to your friends and contacts.  (Maybe your spouse and children will also consider this petition ?) (other province contacts??)

The more signatures the more likely that this matter will be resolved.


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.
