DABC was one of the almost 150 organizations that recently signed on to a letter initiated by March of Dimes Canada, urging the government to prioritize the Canada Disability Benefit (Bill C-22) for third reading. The letter was sent to the Prime Minister, House Leaders and copied Members of Parliament.
DABC has written a brief to the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities (HUMA) relating to Bill C-22, the Canada Disability Benefit.
DABC recommends to the federal government that the Bill pass into law before the end of the year, and that the design and implementation of the Canada Disability Benefit be a collaborative process that centres people with disabilities.
A collective of stakeholder organizations, including DABC, wrote to House Leaders on June 13th, 2022 to urge them to work together to bring Bill C-22, the Canada Disability Benefit Act, back for second reading before the House of Commons rises for the summer break.
