Mr. Speaker, we know that people living with disabilities who qualify get $200 for the Canada disability benefit. That is very meagre and the Liberals offered nothing in terms of an increase, despite the high rates of inflation.
Also, we talked to the Liberals and brought forward ideas about improving the disability tax credit form to honour people who are living with disabilities in their province or territory so they would automatically qualify. What do the Liberals do? They tinker with the form and say it is good enough, but it is costing 250,000 doctor-hours a year and one million patient visits just to fill out that form. That red tape alone is a reason to honour people living with disabilities in their province or territory.
Does the leader of the official opposition support our proposal that if people are on disability in their province or territory, they should automatically qualify? Do the Conservatives support increasing the Canada disability benefit for those living with disabilities?
