Thank you.
You are asking the question that I am asked most and have been asked most over the past five years by advocates and individuals with disabilities. The reality is that what has happened over time is that the Government of Canada disability policy has been driven through tax policy, and the DTC has really become a gatekeeper for a number of important federal government programs, but because it's non-refundable, low-income or no-income citizens with disabilities don't apply for it because there's no benefit from a tax point of view. Therefore, they don't have access to these other really important programs for which this is the gatekeeper.
We're going to change all of that. Part of our commitment in our disability inclusion plan is to modernize our approach and reconceive our eligibility requirement for these programs so the DTC doesn't perform that gatekeeping function. As we do that overhaul, we're going to look at the DTC itself and see what we need to do to modernize the tax elements of our disability delivery mechanisms as well.
I don't have a strict yes or no to that answer—it's a bit premature—but it is very much for discussion as we work on this modernization effort.
