The deadline to sign the E-Petition is November 10th. Please sign and share ASAP!
The link to sign the petition is here:
Celiac Canada is asking for your support to sign an e-petition calling upon the Government of Canada to provide tax relief to Canadians with Celiac disease by amending the Income Tax Act, in the form of an annual $1,000 refundable tax credit, together with a waiver of any requirement to retain receipt.
People with celiac disease require a strict, medically required gluten-free diet to control their autoimmune disease. Gluten-free products are up to 300% more expensive than traditional food with gluten. This creates a large economic burden on our community. There is no cure or other prescription treatments for celiac disease to replace this therapy.
PLEASE share this petition with friends, family and anyone who would be willing to support the effort to have the fairness of the Canadian tax code updated.
Volunteers needed!
