Thank you very much.
I'll start with a question for JDRF Canada. Your organization has a done a lot of advocacy over the time that I've been a member of Parliament on the 14-hour requirement. When we asked officials, in the context of this particular budget implementation act, why it was that they were maintaining this requirement, I was surprised to hear them make an equity argument. They said it would be unfair to make exceptions for people living with diabetes, because other people have to meet the 14-hour requirement.
If they've made this argument to you, when you've had opportunities to speak with government, what justification did they offer to you in your conversations? What do you think of this apparent equity concern on the part of the government, when it comes to folks without diabetes who are trying to access the disability tax credit?
