Mr. Speaker, four years ago to the day, the government promised a new Canada disability benefit modelled after the guaranteed income supplement. The GIS supports millions of people with a maximum amount of over $1,000 a month. The CDB is slated to deliver a maximum of just $200, and that is to the select few who can qualify for the disability tax credit. Consultations on regulations for the benefit close today.
Will the government listen to the disability community and deliver a Canada disability benefit aligned with its promise four years ago?
