Thank you very much for bringing that up.
Despite the forthcoming introduction of the Canada benefit, which I've spoken about quite often, we have concerns. We know that once this benefit is in place, women with disabilities will be at high risk of experiencing another type of violence, namely, gender‑based violence.
To explain that, I'm going to talk about current research and recommendations of the DisAbled Women's Network of Canada. We have a project looking at the importance of peer support, not only on a personal level but also in navigating the system and barriers. When you think about how to improve the situation of women with disabilities on planet Earth, the first thing we see is that the DisAbled Women's Network of Canada is the only disability organization in the country. Besides, aren't you tired of seeing me here? In Quebec, there's Action femmes et handicap. Apart from these two organizations, there's a gap in leadership and leadership support for women with disabilities.
I'm straying a little from your question, but I think it's important to understand that the lack of leadership around the table puts us at risk everywhere and contributes to the lack of access to employment, health care and transportation, among other things. We're not at the table often enough.
However, I would remind everyone that 30% of all women in Canada are living with a disability. That's a third of them.
