Thank you so much.
I want to talk to you a bit about elections.
However, before we get into that, I will say that the NDP wanted the Canada disability benefit to be adequate. We fought for that. I talked to the minister about it many times. They needed royal recommendation, which was an absolute clue to the fact that the Liberal government wasn't planning on it being an adequate income for persons with disabilities. They already underfunded it before it was even law. As the NDP, we're disappointed that it's not adequate. Certainly, there's no reason the government can't release it immediately.
I will just let the government know in this committee that it's time for it to release the Canada disability benefit. Even though it's woefully inadequate, let's get it started in people's bank accounts in 2024.
Who's in government is important. Culture flows down, so I'm very interested in elections. Right now, there is an opportunity to make some amendments to the Elections Act. I know CNIB has made many comments about being able to have a secure and independent voting experience.
I wonder if you could share how that has evolved over time and what still needs to be done at the ballot box for persons with vision loss or reduced vision.
