Currently, about 44,000 individuals claim the volunteer firefighters' tax credit and another 6,000 claim the search and rescue volunteers' tax credit.

Finance committee  The answer is yes.

Finance committee  It's tough to describe exactly what this group will look like, because we have a sense now of who, let's say, in 2021 or 2022, has taken the maximum amount out of the home buyers' plan—the current limit of $35,000—but we can expect that group to change pretty significantly over the next couple of years.

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. In fact, two conditions are necessary. First, we have to get royal assent for the enabling bill. Second, the Agency has to be in a position to make the payment. So it depends on those two conditions.

Finance committee  That's a really good question. It's been extended a couple of times because, as I mentioned before, questions of property are provincial. You've had several provinces.... You mentioned Minister Flaherty's important role in encouraging provinces to have streamlined approaches to have family members represent the individual with a disability.

Pierre Leblanc

Finance committee  Thanks for the question. I don't think I have those numbers with me. As the budget made clear, it's a priority for the government and this is work to be done. It's work that the government will be doing going forward.

Finance committee  Thank you very much for the questions. I think they will make RDSPs more accessible for an important group of people. If you look at RDSPs for adults who are eligible for the disability tax credit, typically the individual is the holder of the plan; but, in some cases where the individual, because of their disability where their ability to enter into an RDSP contract isn't out, the question is who can be the plan holder.
