I found that to be a really difficult problem. I thought a lot about how they are going to be able to do this. To be honest, I wouldn't want that job.
When I worked, I commuted from one city to another. I worked for 11 years straight, five days a week. It was good. I enjoyed the work, but it was a low wage. It was a government-funded organization. I had transportation costs.
Where I live now, in Stratford, I'm not working. I have insurance. However, I have to worry about getting a van, transportation. I can't work anymore. I'm at the point where my expenses are probably less, but I still have a mortgage. I have payments. How do we differentiate? I lived in Toronto, and I know how expensive Toronto is. Then I didn't have money, but I had subsidies. Subsidies helped. Each person is different, so how do you come up with a formula? I don't think it's an amount that's thrown, and we'll give disabled people $4,000 or whatever. I don't think that's going to work.
I agree with what you said, that there are a lot of different things to consider. If we do it too quickly, it's not going to be done well. It has to be done right. I've lived through too many years, 40 years of living through different governments and different promises, and it's never come through. It has to be well thought-out.
It has to be firm, so that the next government that comes in will know that this is required. This needs to be continued to be worked on for people with disabilities. Somehow make it so that the next government can't just go for votes for something else.
I'm not going to give you a number, because I don't know. I know my benefits and my supplies and medications.
