Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses.
I'd like to pay special tribute to the Quebec Intellectual Disability Society. I'd like to thank its representatives for accepting our invitation to appear before the committee.
In Quebec, the Quebec Intellectual Disability Society does a very good job of representing people with intellectual disabilities.
A number of things are interesting. I don't have much time to ask my questions, but I'll still have time to ask some of them.
I'd like to clarify that the modalities of the basic income program will go into effect on January 1, 2023. Admittedly, this has taken a lot of work on your part.
You talked about important elements, and I want to ask a few questions about them.
In talking about individualizing benefits, you said that this could serve as a basic parameter for the Canadian benefit.
Why is that important?
Is it an important principle to include in the preamble of the bill?
