Mr. Speaker, earlier today I met with JoseƩ, Sue, Peter, Patrick and about 40 other disabled individuals on long-term disability.
They were here to tell their stories, to tell us that they will face homelessness if the government fails to pass Bill S-216 by Christmas. These are hard-working and proud Canadians who need and deserve our help.
The Prime Minister can find time to appoint 32 senators for life with a guaranteed pension. Why is he now using these same senators to block passage of Bill S-216?
