Madam Speaker, yes, I do share those concerns, but that was not the principal focus of my speech. I was speaking to the fact that we have, in this incredibly wealthy country, not met what is required to ensure that all Canadians with disabilities can live in dignity, put food on the table and have a roof over their head. The appalling statistics that we, every single member of Parliament, have seen for people with disabilities who are homeless or who are having to line up at food banks should give us all pause as we are failing Canadians with disabilities each and every day.
We have immense resources when the banking sector calls. We have immense resources when very wealthy and privileged Canadians, the wealthiest of Canadians, and the most profitable corporations call. We need to respond to the calls of Canadians with disabilities.
