Mr. Speaker, December 3 is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The theme for this year is amplifying disability leadership.
In my community, there are so many outstanding organizations like Kinsight, SHARE, Special Olympics and Community Living British Columbia that do that work every day.
This day also opens up an opportunity for the Liberal government to recommit to its obligations under article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by fixing the inadequate and inaccessible Canada disability benefit. It must increase the amount of the benefit and remove the inaccessible disability tax credit.
I have another solution for the Liberals, too. Yesterday, I introduced a bill that would protect the CDB from clawbacks to end the injustice people with disabilities face under the current household income-tested system. The Liberals need to act on my bill immediately and protect the Canada disability benefit from their cruel and callous clawbacks.
