The Caregiver Amount can be claimed if you fall under the following category.

 An individual is considered to depend on you for support if they rely on you to regularly and consistently provide them with some or all of the basic necessities of life, such as food, shelter, and clothing. 

If this describes you then yes, your spouse can claim the Canada Care Giver Credit.
