Madam Speaker, for the first time in Canada, there is a benefit designed specifically to help persons with disabilities, and of course it is going to help women with disabilities as well. This is a historic step that we have put forward to address the long-standing poverty among working-age persons with disabilities. Like with other progressive programs, we are going to make sure we continue to expand it to make sure all working-age Canadians with disabilities are supported, particularly some of the most vulnerable women.
