Thank you, Mr. Chair.
People living on CPP disability in my riding are surviving on income that is below the poverty line. Many will not receive the one-time $600 payment, because they do not receive the disability tax credit. This excludes many people who were struggling even before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Will the government expand the eligibility criteria for people with disabilities to ensure that everybody on CPP disability gets it; and will the government institute a permanent raise to CPP disability to ensure that disabled people can live a dignified life?
