Thank you, Madam Chair. I will be sharing my time with the member for Courtenay—Alberni today.
I rise again on behalf of people in my riding and across Canada who are living with disabilities. I am shocked by this government's announcement last week. They cynically waited until Friday of AccessAbility Week to announce supports for people living with disabilities. That was 12 weeks after the start of the pandemic and five weeks after they promised to deliver without delay, even though their corporate friends and big banks got funding within days of the pandemic being declared, and as usual, it was way too little and way too late.
Does the minister realize that over half the people living with disabilities in Canada—over 60%—will not be able to access these funds?
