With the approval of Bill C-22, the Canadian Disability Act, on the way soon, Kitchener Centre Green Party MP Mike Morrice said the bill is an important stepping stone. 

Morrice said that this is the first phase to seeing more concrete supports implemented – supports many Canadians have been waiting a very long time to materialize. 

In an interview with CKMS, Morrice discussed some of the problems with the bill due to push back from the Liberal government, which includes, ending the support at the age of 65 when the recipient becomes eligible for old-age-support. Morrice, who has been championing the bill for the past years, noted that "disability does not end when you turn 65."With C-22 back to the senate after amendments, the bill is expected to be approved in the coming weeks.
