Mr. Speaker, this morning, I was at Extendicare with a number of personal support workers as we announced a measure of support for the very workers who care for our loved ones. Kelly, one of the support workers, said that people talk all the time about the importance of the work, but this was the first time they had ever felt like someone was doing something for them.
I am so thrilled to say that we will be supporting personal support workers with a refundable tax credit of $1,100 a year. What is more is that we will make sure that these workers are not just feeling supported but are supported in the workplace.
