Thank you. That is exactly what I was told.
When people with disabilities make the effort to take training in order to find a job and then lose some of the benefits they receive because they have a disability, they lose their desire to continue participating in the workforce and independent living.
Thank you for that answer. I think this is an important issue that the committee should study and make recommendations on. I will support that position when the time comes.
My second question is for Ms. Giroux-Bougard.
You had three recommendations. The second was that the federal government should discontinue education tax credits and instead use the funding to increase student grants.
Would that not create problems in terms of accessing education? Does the tax credit not cover everyone, whereas the grants target only certain people? Would that not have a restrictive effect?
