Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Red Shirt Day for Accessibility. In recent weeks, both in my riding of University—Rosedale and in the work of the Standing Committee on Finance, we have heard from Canadians with disabilities and the organizations that support them.
Too many Canadians with disabilities live in poverty. I was so pleased to see our government announce important improvements to the disability tax credit and to join the Secretary of State for the Canada Revenue Agency and Financial Institutions at Community Living Toronto, an extraordinary organization in my riding, to highlight how we are simplifying the application process and making it easier for eligible Canadians to access supports.
Along with Canada's disability benefit, these measures represent meaningful progress. I look forward to helping build on this work because I know our government is committed to a more inclusive and accessible Canada.
