Dear Friend, One in five people in Canada has a disability and more than a million Canadians with disabilities live in poverty. People with disabilities in Canada have a higher rate of unemployment and people with severe disabilities earn less than $13,000 per year on average. Existing supports are not even enough to cover housing and food. What can you do? Send a letter to your Member of Parliament asking them to support the tabling of a bill to re-introduce the Canada Disability Benefit Act as soon as possible. Thank you for raising your voice to support people with disabilities. In solidarity, Green Party of Canada |
