Thank you, Mr. Morrice. Thank you for your relentless pursuit of this. I'm appreciative.
We tabled the legislation last June. It died on the Order Paper. It was a clear, foundational part of the Liberal Party platform in the last election. It is in my mandate letter, and the Prime Minister, all of our colleagues in cabinet and I are committed to introducing this legislation. I can tell you that, as we've worked to move forward on many aspects of the disability file, this has been the unwavering cornerstone of the work we're trying to do.
As you may have heard me say, it would be the flip side of the investments we make in employment. Ideally, the more people we get working, the better. Until we remove the barriers that we've put up as a society and until we recognize that we created this situation, we need to make sure people aren't living in poverty.
That's as much detail as I can think of, but I can assure you that it's a top priority for our government. It is simply a matter of when, not if. It will happen.
