UPDATE- according to the government website- The Canada Disability Benefit will open for applications on June 20. As I’ve said numerous times in thie previous Parliament, the benefit is not adequate to lift people with disabilities out of poverty—but it is a start. #canpoli #cdnpoli #canada #disability #benefit #pwd #pwds
