Human Resources committee  I find it satisfactory. I would add another component, too: How do we know this is making a difference? What difference is it making? What's the impact of providing the Canada disability benefit? It's not just the impact for people who are lifted out of poverty. What difference has it made for people living in Canada, for our country, for our nation, in terms of the untapped potential, work contributions, and talents that will come forward?

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. Through the chair, I'm happy to respond to that. I think the first consideration is the importance of realizing that there are different poverty levels in different areas of our country. A carton of eggs is priced quite a bit differently in Nunavut than it is in Ontario, at least in southern Ontario and Toronto.

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am Bill Adair. I would like to acknowledge that I am presenting from Toronto. I am on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Toronto is now home to many diverse first nation, Inuit and Métis peoples.
