Not a surprise, but happy it is official. There will be a full exemption of the Canada Disability Benefit in B.C. Meaning anyone who collects it gets to keep it all. Right decision. https://t.co/CBOXMtGSX9

Earlier this week, Minister of Social Development & Poverty Reduction @s_malcolmson met with self advocates (who joined in-person & virtually) at CLBC Head Office in Vancouver to hear their stories and discuss topics and issues that are important to them.

[Randy Schmidt @RandallBSchmidt]

What a difficult three years. I recall the deep uncertainty we faced. I will always remember with gratitude how despite the fear, individuals, families and support workers stepped up to keep people supported and safe. https://t.co/fU4jKIo5rA
