There are hundreds of people in my riding who now have the disability tax credit because we informed them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2184714\" data-originallang=\"en\">The government's job is to make sure the people are well informed on what is happening to them, and I agree with the member that in this particular case, they were not.</p>",
