Mr. Speaker, I wish to present another petition from my riding, signed by 2,225 people from Quebec who are calling on the House to oppose any projects that could limit accessibility to the disability tax credit.
Poverty is a scourge. The Standing Committee on Human Resources Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities tabled a unanimous report in March 2002 asking the government to reform the administration of the disability tax credit, in order to improve accessibility.
I am therefore asking Parliamentarians to ensure that no measures affecting the disability tax credit be taken without first consulting with advocacy groups and health professionals.
