Bill C-211 — Loi modifiant la Loi de l’impôt sur le revenu et le Régime de pensions du Canada (présomption)
This proposed law is about the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The CPP gives people money when they retire. Right now, some self-employed people might not pay into the CPP. This proposed law would change that. It would let more self-employed people pay into the CPP. This change would affect self-employed people in Canada. If they choose to pay into the CPP, they would pay a bit more money each year. But, when they retire, they would get more money from the CPP. This could help them have a more comfortable retirement. This proposed law matters because it could give self-employed people more financial security. Many people rely on the CPP when they stop working. By letting more self-employed people pay into it, they can also benefit from this important retirement program.
I want to make it simpler for people with disabilities to get the help they need from the government. My bill would let the federal government automatically recognize a disability if it is already recognized by a province or territory. I hope everyone will support this.
I worked with the member before to help first responders with their mental health. I want to protect first responders, no matter who gets the credit. I support helping those who keep our communities safe.

Inscription gratuite — 30 sThis proposed law aims to make it easier for people with disabilities to qualify for federal tax credits and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits by recognizing provincial disability assessments. This could help people access needed support, but it still allows the Minister to override these assessments.
Things to Watch For
- The Minister still has the power to deny benefits even if someone qualifies under provincial rules.
- The law only applies starting in 2026, so there's a waiting period before people can benefit.
- It depends on how provinces define 'mental or physical impairment,' which could create differences across Canada.
