The MS Society wrote to the party leaders asking them to commit
to the following issues. See their responses
by clicking on each party below.
Will your party support making Employment Insurance sickness
benefits more flexible to allow people with MS or their caregivers
to work part-time and receive partial benefits?
Does your party agree that the Disability Tax Credit should
be made refundable?
Will your party allow spouses to claim the Caregiver Tax
Credit?
Would your party support the development of a National
Brain Strategy, and specifically, what would your party do
to elevate
support for Canadians living with chronic brain conditions
like multiple sclerosis in the next session of Parliament?
