Yes. Currently, there is a caregiver tax credit that people can apply for, which would cover expenses that might be incurred in giving care to their loved ones or family members. It's not refundable, so there is nothing that they would receive back at the end of day from that actual tax credit. We're suggesting that they actually have money back in their pocket. I think they are allowed to claim about 15 per cent the way the current caregiver tax credit works. It would be a somewhat small measure, not touching the 8.1 million Canadians who are giving this type of care, but it would likely reach the ones who are giving the most care or are in the most need, in some way, by giving them some money back at the end of the day.
