Mr. Speaker, I have a question around the Canada disability benefit. We are approaching a year since the benefit was initially introduced in this House, and the disability community was expecting to see it in budget 2022. Why is the Canada disability benefit not in budget 2022?

Madam Speaker, as I mentioned before, I spent much of my youth in rural Saskatchewan, as well as Wynyard. I just want to talk a little about aging. Aging in rural Canada is happening at a rate as fast as, if not faster than, the rest of Canada. Aging in place is very important. I just want to ask the member a question. There are some aging in place items in the budget, such as the multi-generational home renovation tax credit, the home accessibility tax credit and the homebuyers' tax credit, but each of these requires persons with disabilities to have disability tax credit eligibility. I wanted to know if the member feels this is fair. Does he feel these will be adequate tax credits for people living in rural Canada?
