Mr. Speaker, our health care system is already stretched, yet the federal government piles on needless work. The College of Family Physicians warns that the disability tax credit form is worsening the strain and costing patients access to care. Instead of fixing it, budget 2025 allocates $10 million to help people navigate the same broken system.
Provinces already determine disability eligibility. Why will the minister not automatically accept provincial approval for the disability tax credit to reduce barriers and let family doctors focus on patient care?
