I think there is a big opportunity for improvement here.
The suggestion is that the disability tax credit will be one of the ways through into the Canada disability benefit. Our position is that it is fine as one avenue into the disability benefit. We stand with our allies who say that the eligibility for provincial disability supports should also be considered automatic acceptance into the Canada disability benefit.
However, for the disability tax credit, this is why I threw in that line about taking a massive hammer to the disability tax credit. It is Kafkaesque, bureaucratic and very difficult to access. It can be good and it can make a difference in the lives of a lot of people, but if the barriers are sky-high to get in the door in the first place, it shouldn't really be considered as the open door to the next bit of support from the government.
