Mr. Speaker, over one year ago I contacted the minister responsible for the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and expressed my serious concern about the application form used for Canadians applying for the disability tax credit.
One year later I am standing here holding in my hands the denied application of Michelle MacDonald. Michelle suffers from multiple sclerosis that is both debilitating and constantly deteriorating. Her doctor from the Dalhousie Research Centre noted on her application that her condition was recurrent and “totally incapacitating”.
Despite the doctor saying she is totally incapacitated, due to the score card system she has been denied the disability tax credit.
I am again today providing the minister with more information. I am publicly asking that Michelle MacDonald's denial be reviewed and reversed.
