Johanne Deschamps at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

With the help of the members of this committee, we have identified the costs associated with Bill C-269. Those costs total $1.7 billion at this time, while the fund is generating surpluses of more than $2.2 billion a year.

Thanks to those surpluses, we feel very comfortable about the requirements of Bill C-269, the costs of which will not exceed $1.7 billion.
