“We made it easier for people with 43 different disabilities to apply for a tax credit. More kinds of medical workers can now sign the forms. We are working to make Canada fully accessible by 2040.”
“Mr. Speaker, inclusivity is not just the right thing to do; it is the smart thing to do. When people have a chance to thrive, our entire country grows. In our economic update, we announced 43 disabilities that would be eligible for a streamlined disability tax credit application. We have also expanded the list of practitioners who can certify people for the credit. The disability inclusion action plan and the Accessible Canada Act will continue to guide our government’s work toward a barrier-free Canada by 2040.”
