With the passage of Bill C-22, the Canada Disability Benefit Act, advocates and activists across the country are at the frontlines pushing the federal government to make good on its promise of co-design regarding the development of regulations. In this episode, we are joined by Rabia Khedr, the National Director of Disability Without Poverty (DWP) and CEO of DEEN Support Services; Neil Belanger, CEO of Indigenous Disability Canada (IDC) and the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS); and Amanda MacKenzie, the National Director of Public Affairs at March of Dimes Canada.
People with disabilities are experts on their own lives, and the disability community continues to push for inclusion in co-design beyond mere consultations. Join us as we explore best practices for engaging with people with disabilities and how to engage with Indigenous communities, who have been failed by government many times.
