Group says disability benefit at risk unless Ottawa moves quickly on regulations
- An organization advocating for people with disabilities warns that the new federal disability benefit may be delayed beyond the promised July 1 payment date due to unapproved regulations.
- March of Dimes spokesperson Amanda Mackenzie states that a $243 million promise to help low-income people with disabilities is also at risk because of the prorogation of Parliament.
- The benefit will provide eligible individuals with up to $200 per month, which Mackenzie notes is lower than many wanted but still helpful for those in need.
- March of Dimes Canada has launched a campaign urging Persons with Disabilities Minister Kamal Khera to expedite the drafting of regulations to avoid a broken promise by the federal government.
