Join the petition campaign now

Défense des droitsThe MS Society is carrying out a petition campaign asking for changes to income programs for people affected by MS.  MS Society members and friends are asked to sign the petition which will be delivered directly to Parliament.

The petition requests that federal government make modest changes to current programs that will have significant benefit for people affected by MS.

  1. Make Employment Insurance sickness benefits more flexible to allow people to work part-time and receive partial benefits.

  2. Make the Disability Tax Credit a refundable benefit.

  3. Allow spouses to claim the Caregiver Tax Credit – right now this isn’t allowed.

For a copy of the petition, contact your MS Society division office by calling 1-800-268-7582 or e-mail the MS Society at:
