Two legislative / Legal clerks are expected, I'll refer to them in simple or generalized terms for the purposes of speed.
Krista Wilcox & Mausumi Banerjee are scheduled to appear as technical (gov) witnesses / aids much like how Alexis Conrad & Ms Wilcox did last meet. 3/

Disabled Canadian 🧵As a Disabled person of Canada I require funding to continue my life. My CHRONIC and PERMANENT Medical Conditions require medication and medical aids to continue my life comfortably. If given financial aid, I would then spend that money in my community.
At the moment, I have been prescribed Vyvanse for the results of my "Brain Injuries" (Plural) Vyvanse is a newer stimulant for treatmet of ADHD and Binge eating. It's expensive. My first bottle of 60 pills cost me $84 and that's with some prescription coverage from my spouse.
That is $84 off my $1,284 per month stipend from WCB. I have to pay for an Anti-epileptic medicine, an antidepressant and now a blood pressure med. Overall, the three different meds I take cost roughly $130 per month. Keeping tally, $1154 for my portion of our bills, Utilities.

@islandgurl381 @CQualtro @Irek_K @karinagould @MarciIen @FP_Champagne @SeamusORegan @KamalKheraLib @JustinTrudeau Maybe pay it out thru gst accounts . Homeless maybe there is a shelter where they can get mail use as their address until they can finally get a home. Homes r out there but at market rent. Food price sky rocketing & more expensive to b disabled Set it up fast and keep it simple
@islandgurl381 @CQualtro @Irek_K @karinagould @MarciIen @FP_Champagne @SeamusORegan @KamalKheraLib @JustinTrudeau 92% in my survey voted to delay and add safetys to billc22 Canadas disability community IF THEY HAD TEMPORARY AID.

Disabled people are dying due to legislated poverty. At 11 yr. Its deep deep poverty that has likely not been seen since the great depression. Dying of hypothermia, suicidr, hunger, hospital triage policys, Maid the free suicide that was the disableds

Pandemic plan courtesy of the federal govt.
Disabled need help yesterday. It is a crisis
And a emergency. With skyrocking prices they can no longer afford to live. Market rent consumes the whole disability check. They need aid like Cerb that was given to workers.If you know

A death is imminent does the government have the obligation to help? Yes under United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with disabillity. There is an obligation. Recently bill c 22 was going thru committee its a Canada Disability Benefit but it

If you got to vote on it which would u choose.
1 Maid & leave disabled incomes and supports at present (about) 1/2 of poverty line ie. 11-15k until 2024
2 provide immediate emergency aid like Cerb 2 disabled until the long promised Canada Disability Benefit starts 2 pay 2024

What i am suggesting is a flat rate of $2500mthly. No subtraction due to provincial/territorial disability. Just straight $2500 to anyone on any kind of govt benefit who is disabled. All ages. That way they are doing it more like Cerb and it wud b possible to do it fast

Also we know that with $2500 a month that ppl can pay market rent just like everyone else in Canada. 40% of unhoused ppl are disabled this wud get them out the cold into housing. And pwd can b integrated into the community. Just like in United Nations CRPD says.

Dear Disabled Peeps
If you got temporary monthly emergency aid of $2500 would you wait for Billc22 to have protective legislation added to it before it passes?

@BonitaZarrillo
Thats $2500 ON TOP of your provincial or cccd. That way the #derb check wud likely cover rent in most places in Canada leaving u still with 100% prov/cd to spend on other bills and to catch up on stuff u couldn't afford ie, dentures home care etc
No claw back .all ages
Its gotta
No claw back .all ages
Its gotta
Be significant as we are soooo far below poverty level. As most ppl wud be able to pay market rent it gets some 40% of homeless into homes
We deserve 2 live with dignity, whatever it takes 2 b integrated into society not segregated. So 4 me I want the $2500 on top of odsp

United Nations on poverty & Maid 4 disabled not at end of life/terminal. ITS CLEAR ITS NOT OK.
Its a giant step backwards 2 ww2 what Canada is doing. Maid is not treatment. Suicide via govt is not a right.Why has our govt not fought with the same determination for pwd supports?

Why are so many invited guests at our Maid committee already clear supporters of pretty much every kind of Maid. This is eugenics when the govt stacks the deck. I can't even listen at times when they discuss killing kids and infants. Monstrous.

Nothing about us without us? They are ignoring objections by disabled community groups & a letter of about 888 doctors. 2 panel members quit because its so biased. Its eugenics not treatment or rights.
When they came for us did u object? Or will u wait till they come for u?

1. PRESS RELEASE
ADVOCACY GROUP SHOCKED BY LACK OF PREPARATION BEFORE FIRST FEDERAL DISABILITY BENEFIT MEETING
Even committee members question the amount of time and round table studies that produced hardly any data for Bill C-22

2. [Parliament, Ottawa,] — There were twelve people from across Canada all on mute taking in yesterday’s first meeting of Bill C-22’s HUMA Committee. The disappointment was palpable as we were let down again by a lack of preparation on behalf of the legislation’s author and team.
Gray is calling out the amount of talking they did with no substance, she wants a timeline but he blames parliamentary timeline for holding up his timeline, best estimate is a year?
Bynen asks about episodic disabilities like arthritis and MS etc, response is we need to look at the diversity of it, eligibility and criteria, some benefits 3 months up to permanent. income tested.
