In Ashurova v. Canada (Attorney General) (Fed CA, 2026) the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal, here brought against a JR decision that upheld a "Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) officer" decision that the appellant was "ineligible for the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (the CRCB)" - a COVID-era federal income support program operated in concert with the CRB and the CERB.
Here the court considers a practical aspect of disability accomodation:
[19] Nor can the CRA be reproached for any alleged failure to accommodate any disability that might be suffered by the appellant as it had no idea of any intellectual deficits that the appellant might face. This information was never provided to the CRA.
