Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Windsor West has indicated that some 30,000 people have been denied the disability tax credit. I am not sure whether he is aware of this or not, but some 60,000 people who received that form letter have not replied. Often in my riding what I find is that people are not aware that different credits are available. A number of people are unaware that old age security is available on top of CPP or that there are additional supplemental tax credits they may get. There are more of these types of things.
There are probably a lot of people out there who do not have a whole lot of money to deal with and who are not aware of this. They take their income tax into an H&R Block, and I am not giving them an advertisement, or some tax place and just hand it to them. There is no back and forth to ask if a person should get a disability tax credit because they do not necessarily know that a person has a disability.
I wonder whether my colleague would comment on whether or not he thinks that the cost of the bureaucracy involved in challenging disabled people on this tax credit would outweigh the benefit of what disabled people are receiving in tax credits.
