Liberal MPP Stephen Blais has proposed a private members' bill that would create a tax credit to support kids' extracurriculars.
The legislation would give families a $1,000 non-refundable tax credit for their kids' sports and after-school programs to help cover costs. The average Canadian family spends $2,500 a year on children’s activities, according to Blais' office.
Blais said his bill would “provide pocketbook relief to families at a time when many are struggling with rising costs.”
