House Hansard - 274

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 274 - Feb/2/24
Ms. Bonita Zarrillo (Port Moody—Coquitlam, NDP)
Mr. Speaker, Sasamat volunteer firefighters protect Anmore and Belcarra. Coquitlam's search and rescue volunteers also put their lives on the line for their fellow Canadians. They give their time, training and efforts. This also allows municipalities to keep property taxes lower. If their services as required were paid, this would be optimum, but at the moment they are giving their time and their expertise as volunteers. I am presenting a petition calling on the government to increase the tax credits, at the very minimum, for these essential volunteers, and to support Bill C-310.
