Mr. Speaker, December 3 is recognized as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Canadians living with disabilities know that it has been over seven years since I introduced private member's bill, Bill C-462, restricting the fees charged by promoters of the disability tax credit.
Canadians with disabilities should not have to pay huge fees to some third party to access a federal government program I am proud to say Conservative members of Parliament provide for free. These fees can be as high as 40% of the tax credit.
The Liberals have refused to enact my bill to protect those living with disabilities. The fact is that the Prime Minister, as an opposition MP on the WE charity speaker circuit, voted in support of my legislation, as did all members of Parliament.
On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we are reminded of our responsibility to better understand issues facing people living with disabilities.
I call on the government to bring Bill C-462 into force and have its virtue-signalling mean something.
