It's good to have someone from the Okanagan here before us, even virtually.
Ms. Hewitt, you made some very compelling statements, I think, particularly about the Canada disability benefit, when you suggested that one and a half million people should be receiving this benefit but only maybe a third of that number qualify. I've read elsewhere that only a few thousand people will actually be raised out of poverty because of this benefit.
Part of that problem, as you said, is the requirement around the disability tax credit, which is a very difficult credit to apply for. I know that probably all the MPs here, and certainly all my colleagues in the NDP caucus, have regular workshops to try to explain how to navigate that process of getting the disability tax credit. It's a very convoluted process.
I'm wondering if you could explain how you see this disability benefit and how people would qualify for it. What would be the simplest and most straightforward way for the government to make sure that we're actually raising people out of poverty?
