I want to thank you very much for all of the research you do in order to improve conditions for Canadians living with Parkinson's disease, as well as the lives of their family.
My question is for Ms. Gordon.
Ms. Gordon, you said in your presentation that by 2030, the number of Canadians with Parkinson's will double, and will be close to 200,000 people. That figure tells me that there will be a lot of pressure on caregivers, on families. My question is about that, especially since you mentioned that when the disease progresses, these families become increasingly impoverished. In your presentation, you even talked about tax credits for caregivers, and other tax measures which the government offers these families to help them.
Are the federal tax measures sufficiently generous for low-income or middle-income families? In your opinion, are the eligibility criteria flexible enough for those families?
