Mr. Speaker, the Truchon decision has caused a lot of real worry for people living with disabilities in Canada.
In the wake of that decision and the changes to medical assistance in dying, we have to ensure that all Canadians with disabilities have enough resources to avoid the terrible choice between a life of poverty and suffering or premature death.
Yesterday we called on the government to establish a bold new income support program that would lift all Canadians living with disabilities out of poverty.
Will the government work with us to deliver that support to people with the same urgency it gave Bill C-7 instead of repeating the unacceptable delay we saw with the emergency one-time payment earlier this year?
