Human Resources committee I think it should be based on individuality.

Human Resources committee The top-up would be taking us out of the poverty level, the below-poverty level. We need to be at poverty or above it a little bit. I'm not expecting millions or anything; I'm just expecting to be able to live without bobbing for apples every month, wondering what bill I have to pay or what I have to buy over and above what is expected.

Human Resources committee I feel it's too long. We need help and support now, not in 2024.

Human Resources committee Well, that means we're no longer disabled after the working age and we go on old age pension. That's not right because we're still disabled when we reach old age.

Human Resources committee We've talked locally within our own community. Out there, no, I'm not aware of any.

Human Resources committee First of all, I cannot put a figure amount on it. When I spoke with the dietician.... I cannot eat that way. She asked why I couldn't. I told her that I was on disability. She said that she felt sorry for me because I could not afford to eat properly. Then we carried on. She suggested that maybe I request greens and high-fibre foods at the food bank, which you can't always do because they only give you what they have.

Human Resources committee My name is Karen Wood. I would first like to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak with you and for listening to me. I am a resident of Stratford, Ontario, and a recipient of the Ontario disability support program because of a spinal-related disability along with severe fibromyalgia.
