That's really the question that Mr. Kelly was getting at as well: how much higher was the rejection rate? It's not available in the materials, but that tells us, and the number of forms being reviewed tells us, the size and scope of the problem.
All of us have had constituents who have come forward who are concerned about this or have received rejections. I've never seen a figure cited as to the number of rejections over and above the normal rejection rate. If you could provide that to the committee, that would be very helpful for our work here, around the supplementary estimates as well, and also for work in the House of Commons. We need to know how many were rejected who shouldn't have been.
The other question related to that is how many Canadians have been asked to pay back their RDSPs. I have a woman in the city of Burnaby who is undergoing chemotherapy. She has a disabled son, and she is under enormous stress. She has asked for her son to be reappraised, and then he was rejected after many years of being accepted for the DTC. Of course, now they're being asked to pay back out of the registered disabilities savings plan money that they've saved up through his childhood and youth. It's incredibly stressful.
I'd be interested in knowing how many Canadians have been asked to pay back funds with their RDSPs being wrapped up, despite the fact that they previously qualified. They are no longer qualified, given the changed criteria from May until earlier this year.
Do you have any idea how many people have been asked to pay back the funds, basically wrap up their RDSPs?
