Guarantee the Canada Disability Benefit!
We call on the Government of Canada to finalize the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) regulations by March 7 to “Guarantee the CDB” will be paid out as promised on July 1, 2025.
Finalizing the regulations is the last step in getting the CDB across the finish line. We know it’s not perfect but if the CDB regulations aren’t finalized before a federal election is called, we’re at risk of further delaying the start of this urgently needed national disability benefit! The threat of a trade war with the United States, which will increase the cost of living from already record-high levels, means this benefit is needed more than ever.
Go to this website and send an email to the ministers responsible for making sure the CDB starts payments on July 1, 2025, and to your Member of Parliament. Your letter will be sent to:
- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
- Minister of Disability Inclusion Kamal Khera
- Minister of Finance Dominic LeBlanc
- Treasury Board President Ginette Petitpas Taylor
- Minister of Justice Arif Virani
- Your Member of Parliament
