Mr. Speaker, $200 a month is not enough to live on, yet that is what the Prime Minister has decided is enough for people with disabilities. While he caves to rich CEOs, he fails to protect the human rights of Canadians. Then there are the Conservatives, who always cut the supports people need. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives care more about their rich corporate donors than they do about Canadians. When will the Liberals get real, increase the Canada disability benefit and respect Canadians with disabilities?

Hon. Kamal Khera (Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities, Lib.)

  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, we put forward over $6 billion to create the first ever Canada disability benefit, but we will not take any lessons from the NDP, which has started to take orders from the Conservative Party and abandoned its commitments to delivering progressive policies. On this side of the House, we are focused on delivering this historic benefit to Canadians.
