Inevitably this hardworking tendency shows up in the tax collecting aspects of government. A case in point is the plight of one of my constituents, han- dicapped by polio since chiidhood. Mike Overdyk couid use a wheelchair but he chooses to suffer some discomnfort for the increased mobility of a leg brace. The goods and services required because o4f bis handicap cost him about $1,800 a year - a sumn which the government would allow him to deduct [romn his income tax if he used a wheelchair or if he chose to plead that his handicap keeps hlm [romn earning a living. But, since he came to Canada 17 years ago, Mr. Overdyk has been working hard despite his paraiyzed Ieft leg. The tax department has gar- nisheed bis wages to collect deductions which Mr, Overdyk made four years ago. This situation is clearly unfair, Had he chosen the wheelchair route, the tax department wouid havie had no revenue at al] to collect [rom him. I asked the Minister of National Revenue to review Mr. Overdyk's case af ter a tax appeal hoard turned down bis appeal. 1 was politely told that nothing could be done but that maybe the law would be changed next autumn. Where does that leave Mr. Overdyk and ail the other disable-d people in similar positions? Between a rock and a bard place, mostly. But there was one resuit fromn Mr. Overdyk's ap- peal. The Speciai Parliamentary Committee on the Disabled and the Handîcapped intends to reconvene with the specifie purpose of pressuring the gover.. nment on this, issue. The tax collectors must be directed to show Iess revenue-hungry zeal and more compassion to the disabled of this country. A poliuical discussion 'N f
