I appreciate your answer to the question.
Honestly, I share your opinion and that of JDRF, as does my party.
Would you say that it defies common sense that Canadians requiring insulin multiple times a day for the rest of their lives don't automatically qualify as requiring life-sustaining therapy for at least 14 hours per week? I mean, the government doesn't ask somebody who is blind if they cannot see at least 14 hours per week. It just seems like a very outdated rule that people with type 1 diabetes are faced with every day.
I've had a number of friends with type 1 diabetes, and good friends of mine have children with type 1 diabetes, so I don't have direct experience, but I've seen first-hand the struggles that people have had.
How do you feel about that comment?
