Our recommendations in advance of the 2026 Federal Budget outline these priorities. View our pre-budget consultation written submission here: inclusioncanada.ca/resource?…

This East Coaster landed in @cityofcalgary gracefully after falling into the luggage conveyor trying to get my suitcase. If I can just bump into @WBrettWilson who has long been on my "must meet for mentorship" list, this work trip will be awesome.

Congratulations to the Honourable Mandy Gull-Masty who has been newly appointed as Minister of Indigenous Services.👏  #GC  #ISC

Congratulations to @MarkJCarney on selecting your Cabinet. Inclusion Canada wishes the new Ministers well as they get up to speed on their portfolios. However, we are disappointed by the decision not to appoint a full minister of disability or even a secretary of state. 27% of Canadians identify as having one or more disabilities - this is more than enough reason to appoint a Minister. #PWD in Canada are eager to see the federal gov't create bold and progressive policies, programs, and laws that remove barriers to inclusion in society. Much work needs to be done, and we will ensure that #pwd and their families are not left behind. Disability inclusion must be a national priority.

“The CDB is meant to be a top-up, not a replacement for provincial disability income support,” said Trish Bowman, CEO of @InclusionAB. Inclusion Canada is greatly concerned by news out of #AB about CDB clawbacks. The benefit is a supplement, not a subtraction. This will not support #PWD to live above the poverty line.

“Today is International Stiff-Person Syndrome Awareness Day. I want to take a moment to shine a light on Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS). As many of you know, I’ve been on my own journey with this rare condition. I want to remind you: no matter what challenges or conditions you face, you are not alone. Please hold onto hope, because it will guide you through the hardest times.” ⁃ Celine xx… Last year, the Celine Dion Foundation announced a $2 million gift to establish the Endowed Chair in Autoimmune Neurology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, with Dr. Amanda Piquet as the inaugural chair holder. Celine recently sat in conversation with Dr. Piquet sharing determination and hope towards a cure.

The Fall Economic Statement confirmed yesterday that the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) will be tax-free. We appreciate the gesture. But $6.66/day tax-free is still $6.66/day. Parliament is in chaos but #PWD are still living in poverty. We urge all parties to make increasing the CDB a priority. Demand action! Tell your MP -> fundthebenefit.ca/take-actio…

I am very pleased that the NB Assembly passed a resolution to allow for witnesses to appear at the economic policy committee to offer perspective on the Government's proposal for rent control. This is a great first step to normalize the hearing of witnesses at committee. #nbpoli
