I attended a webinar with the ladies from
disabilitywithoutpoverty.ca . We shared a common disappointment in the federal government for underfunding Bill C-22 in the last budget tabled on April 15/24. They recognized the numbers the federal government were working from were flawed to say the least when it comes to how many people are living with disabilities in Canada. By the government's best count, hundreds of thousands of Canadians are living with disabilities.
The speaker from disabilitywithoutpoverty.ca suggested that number was much, much larger. In fact facilitator of the Zoom meeting said there are well over a
million people in Canada suffering from some form of disability. The Zoom meeting acted as a new call to force for AbilityRadio.ca. You can help the cause by getting in touch with your MP or by emailing the minister directly responsible for the legislation. Please send your letters of disappointment to
kamal.khera@parl.gc.ca. Every email counts. Let's keep this topic at the top of the minds of our country's leaders!
