Equal Rights and Full Participation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People with disabilities face unfair barriers every day. Government support programs don’t provide enough money to live with dignity. People who are able to work have their government support clawed back. Housing is hard to find and afford. Workplaces often refuse to make simple changes that would help. The Green Party will break down these barriers. We’ll make sure people with disabilities can fully take part in all areas of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Canada Work for Everyone<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People with disabilities deserve better support. Here are some key parts of our plan for disability justice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Fix the Disability Tax Credit so it’s easier to apply and more people can get help<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fix and fully fund the Canada Disability Benefit to lift people out of poverty<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Enforce clear rules about supporting disabled workers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Supporting Independence and Dignity<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    People with disabilities need more than just money. We’ll help build affordable, accessible housing that works for everyone. We’ll make sure people can get the health care and therapy they need. We’ll protect jobs and fair wages for disabled workers. We’ll also create a national fund to help people get important tools like wheelchairs and communication devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Full participation for people with disabilities isn’t optional – it’s a right.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
