Mr. Kusmierczyk, your question was a little too complex for Ms. Bourgeois. If I understood you correctly, you asked if she found it reassuring that the minister said the regulatory process could take a year.
On the one hand, that may be reassuring. On the other, if the bill doesn't establish a timeframe, as others suggested earlier, it will depend on the regulations.
As Ms. Bourgeois has been saying from the outset, we hope that, in consultation with the provinces, the disability community and the federal government can work together to come up with concrete measures.
Ms. Bourgeois and I have been working on a bill for about two years. We worked with statutory committees that supported the bill and its passage. The meetings were held on a regular basis. So it can be done.
I'm sure that we can find a way to consult the provinces and the individuals concerned to determine the minimum income people with disabilities need to live decently. They are entitled to it.
