Madam Speaker, on our first day back I rise to present an urgent petition signed by almost 6,400 folks in my community and across the country who recognize that people with disabilities continue to live in poverty across the country. They recognize that the Canada disability benefit, we are being told, might be up to 18 months until it is in place. Poverty did not take a break over the summer even though Parliament did. The petitioners are calling for a disability emergency response benefit from the Government of Canada to address legislated poverty for people living with disabilities, and to do it now.
