I think we need to start with a point that all people have control in their own lives, have voice and say in their own lives. By prescribing a service or a particular service response to someone's disability, I think it's undermining their capacity to have choice in their life, to spend their money as they see fit.
We would be better off to ensure that people have additional dollars in their pocket. I agree completely. A refundable disability tax credit does not go far enough in addressing the real poverty need. But I think we have to be starting from an assumption of capacity. It's a similar issue to the registered disability savings plan.
