Absolutely, there is that cost-of-living crisis. When Parliament—this committee and the Senate—held hearings on the Canada disability benefit, you heard over and over how living with a disability costs more. During the pandemic, the federal government created a benefit for vulnerable folks across the country, and then it did another benefit for people with disabilities, but it was a once-only payment, and it took months after it was created just to get it out the door.
Yes, that is a huge problem, but just coming up with a Canada disability benefit that's only $200 a month maximum really shows that the criticisms of that legislation from many of us were correct. We warned that this could happen. It did. It also shows that those of us who criticized Bill C-81, the Accessible Canada Act, because it didn't impose more deadlines and detailed requirements on the federal government, were, sadly, correct. We don't take any pleasure, pride or joy in that. We wish we were wrong.
