Mr. Speaker, over 50 community groups have condemned Canada for its treatment of children with disabilities under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In Canada children with disabilities are not getting enough early intervention, teachers' assistance, physio, occupational or speech therapy. Their families are not getting enough income support, home care, respite care or parental leave, and it is getting worse all the time.
This report says that the government does not care enough for the half million children with disabilities. When will the government start meeting our international obligations and make life better for children with disabilities?
