Thank you.
Minister, just before I leave the topic of the Canada disability benefit, last June this is what Minister Qualtrough, who is responsible for disability inclusion, said:
No person with a disability in this country should live in poverty. Yesterday, the Canada Disability Benefit Act became law, creating the framework for a new federal benefit which will lift working-age persons with disabilities out of poverty. ...I look forward to working with the community this summer as we begin the regulatory process to make the Canada Disability Benefit a reality.
Minister, the reaction from the disability community in Canada is overwhelming. That $200 a month is not going to lift anybody out of poverty, really—any person living with a disability.
Would you agree with me that maybe as positive a start as this is, this disability benefit does not meet the promise of this government to establish a benefit that will lift people living with disabilities out of poverty?
