Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to revisit the financial security pillar of the inclusion action plan. This relates specifically to....
Minister, both you and I live in British Columbia, and we know how expensive it is to live there. We know that the disability community is relying on the food banks now. It has become so expensive to live, and the financial supports just aren't there for persons living with disabilities.
I just want to talk a little bit about what happened last week in my riding. A number of faith-based organizations came forward to me and said that we really need to do something to alleviate the suffering and this exorbitant cost of living in relation to food for persons living with disabilities. I have been asking over and over again, Minister, for an emergency relief benefit, some sort of relief for persons with disabilities who are now making impossible choices about whether they have an adequate meal for the day.
I am just going to ask again, Minister. Is there an opportunity to have an emergency relief benefit for persons with disabilities? We've seen before the Liberal government step up and help large corporations when they were in need. This is a compassionate request. It's human rights. It's dignity. I want to know where you are at with this, Minister.
