I don't have the entire test of the bill but I have seen it.
This was taken from the House of Comons site:
Mr. David Chatters (Battle River, CPC) moved for leave to introduce Bill C-271, an act to amend the Income Tax Act (tuition credit and education credit).
He said: Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to reintroduce a bill that I introduced in the previous Parliament. After consulting with the Alberta music teachers association and the Canadian music teachers association, it is an honour for me to re-introduce my private member's bill which seeks to amend the Income Tax Act by extending tuition credit and education credit to individuals who follow a formal course of instruction provided by a qualified music instructor.
At the present time, music instructors who do not teach in recognized institutions of higher learning are ineligible to provide their students with this benefit, despite the fact that their training could be the same or more advanced than an instructor in an institution. Certainly, the greater benefit to students is no less whether or not they are enrolled in a recognized institution.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
