Madam Speaker, I raise my hands to the member for Nunavut. Living with a disability should not mean living in poverty, but for one million Canadians this is exactly what it means. The Canada disability benefit is at least a year away, and as Canadians wait for it, the cost of living continues to rise. The situation is dire as people skip meals and contemplate MAID. They need financial support now. Will the Liberals provide a disability emergency relief benefit immediately to close that income gap?
