All the criticisms of the benefit, I think, are valid. What we also need.... There's a federal election coming up—as I hear by rumour, and you folks may have heard it too—and it's going to be important for voters with disabilities to know what each of the parties will do on each of these, on the Accessible Canada Act and the Canada disability benefit. We'd like it to be treated by all parties as a non-partisan issue, because these laws were both passed unanimously, and all parties agreed we needed them, so we'd like all parties to try to outbid each other for what you'll do to fix them.
