I would be happy to answer that. I am a rural woman, and incidentally, I have a disability plan through my employer and CPP disability, so I am also still a taxpayer and the main income earner of my family, even though my husband is employed. He is a cook and doesn't make enough that it would support us.
I've been very fortunate. I often say that I'm sort of like a princess of the disability community because I have these resources—a vehicle, a husband, and a home—and so many people would give anything to have those things.
For rural women, access to care and support is absolutely crucial. My quadriplegic friend lives 20 minutes down the road from me, and she has had to resort to having a live-in caregiver. The live-in caregiver, under one program, is allowed to do home support chores, but under the funding for another program is not.
