Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank the member for Cumberland—Colchester for his question and for the work he does on this file.
We recognize the impact that a stroke can have on individuals and their families, and that in many cases it is a family member who takes time off work to help with the recovery. That is why our government is moving forward on our commitment to help Canadians who are supporting the needs of an ill family member by making benefits more inclusive and flexible.
These changes will have a real impact and will help caregivers to continue to receive an income and keep their jobs in difficult times.
