Mr. Speaker, I am presenting a petition on behalf of over 28,000 Canadians calling for meaningful tax relief for people living with celiac disease. Celiac disease affects about one in 100 Canadians and requires a strict gluten-free diet that comes with a significant cost. The petitioners are therefore calling for a simple refundable tax credit, $1,000 per adult and $600 per child living with celiac disease, to provide accessible relief.
I commend Celiac Canada for its leadership.
As a founding member of the all-parties celiac caucus, I am happy to present this petition.
