The Canada Disability Benefit Act became law last summer, and the government has been doing consultations on it for months

Dozens of Liberal members of Parliament are calling on the Finance Minister to set aside money for the Canada Disability Benefit in next month’s federal budget.

The Liberals pledged to create a monthly disability benefit program in 2020, saying it was intended to close a gap for working-age people with disabilities. “We know this is a priority for our government, but we also know that this is competing with other priorities and we’re saying that this should be a priority right now,” Turnbull said in an interview.

A non-binding NDP motion that was debated in the House of Commons last week called on the government to recognize Palestinian statehood and call for a ceasefire. After hours of debate, the motion was significantly amended, but three Liberal MPs voted against it. Anthony Housefather has said he is considering his future in the party as a result.
