Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Châteauguay—Lacolle for her speech. Last month, I had the opportunity to speak to Bill C-22. I myself have a family member who lived a good part of his life as a person with a disability, but who has unfortunately passed away. I also had the opportunity to speak with Marie-Christine Hon, who heads up the disability advocacy group Dynamique des handicapés de Granby et région. She told me that the bill currently lacks details. We just talked about how this benefit must be a complement. It must not be deducted from what is already being offered in Quebec and in the provinces. Since today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, can my colleague assure us that the federal government will try to deliver this money as quickly as possible and give as many details as possible to the organizations? I think people with disabilities deserve it.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech on this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Keeping people with disabilities active in the labour market, finding accommodation measures and promoting their integration also helps to address the fact that too many people with disabilities are in a vulnerable situation. That was confirmed to me by the director of Dynamique des handicapés de Granby et région, Marie-Christine Hon. How does this fit into the discussions we need to have about accessibility? People with disabilities are not asking for much.
