Madam Chair, I appreciate your indulging my impertinence in putting my hand up to answer Mr. Turnbull's question.
Mr. Turnbull, I receive the disability tax credit myself. I was born missing an arm, and I've worn a prosthetic my whole life. My parents did the paperwork a long time ago. I receive the DTC. It has very little effect on me because my income is quite high, so there's not much of a material impact. However, it is from birth, and I don't have to reapply every year.
I have a friend whose name is Joe. He is in a very similar situation. Since birth, he has been missing a leg rather than an arm. In his case, every couple of years the CRA asks him to reapply for the disability tax credit. I was in the lock-up when all of these measures were announced. My first call was to my home office. My second call was to Joe to say, “Joe, once these measures are passed, you will no longer have to go through this rigmarole.” This is one very specific, small example, but it has an impact on the lives of people with disabilities.
