XXXXXXXXXX
Dear XXXXXXXXXX :
Thank you for your letter received on March 13, 2009, and the attached letter from your constituent, XXXXXXXXXX , concerning the children's fitness tax credit.
The Canada Revenue Agency is responsible for administering the tax system and applying the current tax legislation as enacted by Parliament. Mr. Smith's suggestion to expand the tax credit to apply to adults would require a change to the legislation, which is the responsibility of the Department of Finance Canada. I am therefore forwarding a copy of your letter to the Honourable James M. Flaherty, Minister of Finance, for his consideration.
I trust that the referral will be helpful.
Sincerely,
Jean-Pierre Blackburn, P.C., M.P.
c.c.: The Honourable James M. Flaherty, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Finance
