Thank you, Minister. I'm sorry, but we don't have a lot of time today.

I just want to clarify: The CRA has confirmed that the disability tax credit cannot be correlated on a one-to-one basis to a person with a disability. It is confirmed by the CRA they cannot do that. They do not know the income of a person with a disability to marry it to a disability tax credit. They do not have that information, so how are you going to find those people who need to have the Canada disability benefit?
