Madam Speaker, I heard my colleague mention the increased support for Canadians with disabilities, which she welcomes.
For example, persons with disabilities, including those on veterans pensions, can receive the subsidy even if they have not applied for the tax credit. She also stated that she would have liked to see this type of amendment in the last iteration of Bill C-17, which was introduced in June.
I agree with her that it was urgent and it is even more urgent today to help persons with disabilities. My question is simple.
Had these changes been included in the last iteration of the bill, would my colleague have agreed to have unanimous consent to fast-track the bill at that time?
