Thank you, Mr. Chair.
PV-4 seeks to add these words:
(2) The Minister must make public any agreement entered into under subsection (1).
Specifically, this would require the federal government to make public all federal and provincial-territorial agreements with respect to the Canada disability benefit. This was recommended by many groups, including the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance, by experts who came to testify at committee, such as Mr. Prince, and by organizations like Spinal Cord Injury Canada and the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
I'll note that part of the interest here, given what I heard from the disability community, is hearing from the government. This is about trust. I think more transparency leads to more trust from the people this benefit is meant to serve.
