Mr. Speer, you recommend making the disability tax credit refundable.

Do you really believe the tax credit is underused because it is non-refundable? Does the credit's underuse not have more to do with the fact that individuals who have two of the five restrictions do not see themselves as disabled and therefore do not think the tax credit is for them?
