Opinion: The federal government calls it “shameful” that 1 million people with disabilities languish in poverty, and it's good that a Canada Disability Benefit is on the way. But with delays, excessive limitations and no oversight, it can do better.
The federal government calls it “shameful” that one million people with disabilities languish in poverty. It’s good the government promised to create a Canada Disability Benefit to lift them out of poverty.before Parliament does not require the government to ever pay a CDB, or set a deadline to start paying it. It sets no minimum benefit amount or ensure it keeps pace with inflation. It could be $1 per month.
Liberals have a minority of House of Commons seats. They want all legislative decisions forked over to cabinet, where Liberals have all the seats. Cabinet shouldn’t decide everything in regulations. The bill must set specifics on things like eligibility, requirements that cabinet’s regulations can clarify but can’t contradict.
Taking two years to get this far, Liberals still can’t say how much the CDB will be, who will get it or when. They are pressing Parliament to pass the bill as is, invoking the desperation of those living in poverty. That won’t get a dime to anyone for well over a year after the bill is passed.
