  • Re: Bill C-22 
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to congratulate my colleague on her great work and on her speech. As members know, Quebec is the envy of many nations for its very strong social safety net. Obviously, the Bloc Québécois will certainly support any program that improves the lives of people with disabilities. My colleague from Thérèse-De Blainville already talked about the vagueness of the timelines. No one knows how long the consultation period will last. It is too slow. Another grey area has to do with how these future regulations will be applied. It is not clear whether Ottawa will pay the benefits directly to Quebec and the provinces or whether the federal government will pay the benefits directly to individuals eligible for this new benefit program. I wonder if my colleague has any suggestions for the government regarding the best and most effective way to deliver such a program.
