À propos de cet audio

 After three years of consultations, legislative crafting, committee reviews, and political pushing and pulling in the House of Commons and in the Senate in Ottawa, the Canada Disability Benefit Act finally received royal assent on June 21st, 2023. It's intended to raise those living with disabilities in Canada out of poverty. But can it? Will it? Join us for Season 3 of The 2030 Project Podcast, a special mini-series dedicated to the new Canada Disability Benefit.
Close to half of food bank clients in Toronto are living with a disability. Will the Canada Disability Benefit be enough to reduce or even eliminate poverty among people with disabilities? Tune in to find out as we start the series off with a brief chat with Neil Hetherington, CEO and Talia Bronstein, Vice President of Research & Advocacy from the Daily Bread Food Bank, as they discuss what they're looking to see in this new income program.
