Okay, thank you.
Ms. Laforce, the Canada disability benefit uses the same definition of disability as the Accessible Canada Act, which includes people with episodic disabilities like multiple sclerosis. However, the disability tax credit, which you need to access the Canada disability benefit, still requires that a person demonstrate, and I quote, a “marked restriction” 90% of the time.
You have a situation in which the government's own legislation says someone with MS qualifies for the Canada disability benefit, but the CRA's interpretation of the disability tax credit says they may not qualify for the very credential they need to access. Why is this not addressed?
