Petition to the Government of Canada
- Many people suffer from disabilities such as cerebral palsy and can't get into or out of a vehicle without an assistive device.
- GST tax rebate B-086 is meant to help people dealing with disabilities who need to modify vehicles in order to transport family members.
- Many people are denied from receiving the tax rebate because B-086 only applies to vehicles modified for an “individual using a wheelchair”.
- Many people would benefit if B-086 was amended to be inclusive for all disabled people who need to modify vehicles for accessibility reasons.
