Mr. Speaker, my second petition deals with people who are caught in the disability system where they have a disability and there is no financial support for them.
The petitioners pray and request that Parliament introduce mid-term disability benefits legislation which allows working Canadians who suffer from a debilitating illness or injury to receive continuous sickness benefits in the following form: (a) 15 weeks UIC; (b) mid-term disability; and (c) Canadian disability pension plan.
