This measure doesn't change the criteria for the disability tax credit either. All it does is take the existing system, where if you cease to be eligible for the disability tax credit, you're no longer eligible to keep an RDSP open.... All this measure does is take that existing requirement and say that it recognizes that there may be people who, because of the episodic nature of their illness, may not be eligible for a disability tax credit in any one particular year, but it is certainly foreseeable by a medical practitioner that the individual will again be eligible for it in a future year. It just provides that the RDSP will be able to stay open. It doesn't touch on the disability tax credit as such.
