À propos de cet audio

 As the federal government begins to develop the Canada Disability Benefit, the question of who's eligible, and how they will qualify for this program, comes to the forefront. Who determines the eligibility of this program? How will the federal government work alongside provincial and territorial governments, and private insurance companies, to ensure those who need it actually get it? How does it account for the diversity in language and cultures across the country? How is disability defined, and will it include those with episodic and/or invisible disabilities?
In this episode, we are joined by Trevor Manson, Secretary Co-Chair of the ODSP Action Coalition and Michelle Hewitt, Chair of the Board for Disability Without Poverty (DWP), who will take us on a trip from Ontario to BC and back, as advocates continue to push for inclusion for all people with disabilities.
