Thank you, Ms. Chabot.

I want to start with a series of questions for the minister with respect to expectations set about the Canada disability benefit.

The first is in the Liberal party platform of 2021, which said:

...this new benefit will reduce poverty among persons with disabilities in the same manner as the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Canada Child Benefit.

Can the minister table, for this committee, the number of people who are expected to be raised above the poverty line by the Canada disability benefit?
