Madam Speaker, I am very passionate about this issue, because as we all know in this House, and people in our party have been fighting this for over a year now, right now in our country there are enormous obstacles facing persons with disabilities, around tax issues, around the disability tax credit. The federal government has decided to take aim at the most vulnerable Canadians with cuts to the disability tax credit when in fact it has allowed for tax deductible business expenses to people who are being fined for misdemeanours, and it has allowed for a huge tax cut for corporations. We absolutely have to see fairness in our tax system and stop targeting the people who are the most vulnerable, the persons with disabilities.
