Mr. Speaker, Sunday marked the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The United Nations' theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities focuses on Sustainable Development Goals. It is important that we make sustainable development a reality for persons with disabilities. The principle of “Nothing Without Us”, which means we work in partnership with the disability community, is what guides the government. It is what guides disability inclusion and helps us achieve our goal. Recently we launched an online tool that will allow Canadians to give their input on how the regulations for the disability benefit will be implemented. The benefit is a cornerstone of our disability inclusion plan. It helps to reduce poverty. It will be a supplement to and will not replace existing supports. Together, we will do this. We need to do this.
