I advocate a home rehabilitation tax credit program, just like the energy renovation program. It's revenue neutral for the Canadian government, by giving back the HST rebate on renovations that allow people to live longer in their homes safely. It would encourage people to do things.

I might also point out that the current American tax reform negotiations include a $30,000 deduction proposed in the United States for exactly that activity.
