Mr. Speaker, that is a great question. First of all, obviously, if somebody is on disability, they should automatically qualify for the disability tax credit. I will note there are a lot of people who should also qualify for, but are not receiving, disability provincially. It should not necessarily be the case in the reverse direction.
The other thing that needs to be simplified is the disability savings account. I think that when somebody applies for the disability tax credit, they should be able to tick a box for the CRA to contact their bank and alert the bank to set up, free of charge, a registered disability savings account. It took us two trips to the bank and a large stack of paper in order to do it. It took forever. I cannot imagine that a very busy single mother working as a waitress is going to be able to go to the bank twice and fill out all those forms. As a result, 18 years later, her child is not going to have a savings account to help with their future.
Let us make it automatic. Let us make it simple. Let us empower people's lives and not drown them in paperwork.
