Thank you very much.
My question is for Kimberley Hanson, from Diabetes Canada. I'd like to begin by thanking her for her advocacy on behalf of the thousands of people whose applications for the disability tax credit are being rejected.
I'd like to read a letter from the Minister of National Revenue—I have it before me—in which she is referring to the requirement that diabetics need 14 hours a week of life-sustaining therapy in order to qualify for the disability tax credit. She says, “adults who independently manage their insulin therapy on a regular basis are unlikely to meet the 14-hours-per-week requirement.”
Is that statement true?
