The Government of Canada recently released its proposed Canada Disability Benefit Regulations which, once approved, will determine technical details for the design and implementation of the Canada Disability Benefit. The Government has opened a public consultation process to gather feedback from the disability community on the proposed Regulations. In turn, CNIB is consulting with our community members to gather the perspectives of persons who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision, about whether the Regulations as proposed are appropriate. We will then use this feedback to inform CNIB’s submission to the Government.
