Today, all parties came together to support Bill C-22 - the Canada Disability Benefit Act through a unanimous consent motion.
We're on the cusp of doing what every single one of us came to Ottawa to do. To help people. To make their lives better.
Yesterday, Minister Qualtrough and Amb. @BobRae48 took time to meet with Canadian civil society delegates on Canadian international disability priorities.
