Hose Grant Hardy interview Rabia Khedr, the National Director of Disability without Poverty. When Prime Minister Mark Carney was sworn in, he slimmed down the cabinet and removed roles that were specific to people with disabilities and women and gender rights. Rabia and Grant discuss the importance of these roles in the cabinet. Find Disability Without Poverty online: https://www.disabilitywithoutpoverty.ca Disability Without Poverty (DWP) began when advocates across the country came together to work on eliminating disability poverty.

Through DWP's numerous petitions, open letters, Op-Eds, rallies, partnerships and non-partisan efforts, the CDB reached unanimous Royal Assent in June 2023. Our work continues in order to ensure that the CDB is a benefit that actually benefits people with disabilities by lifting them out of poverty.

Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin opened the final session of the 42nd Parliament by delivering the speech from the throne, laying out the B.C. government's vision for a stronger province that works better for people.“While our government is proud of the progress we've made for people through tough times, we're nowhere near satisfied,” said Premier Eby. “Our economy is strong, with low unemployment and the highest wages in the country. But too many are still struggling to get ahead – even those in the middle class who earn a decent paycheque. That's why we'll continue bringing people together to solve big challenges and help everyone build a good life here.”Her Honour and members of the legislature were greeted by the Lekwungen singers and dancers of the Songhees Nation – a powerful symbol of B.C.'s commitment to reconciliation and moving forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.The speech outlined actions government will take over the next few months to deliver more middle-class homes faster, help working families and small businesses with costs, strengthen public health care and services, and build a cleaner economy that works for everyone—not just those at the top. It also committed to expanding actions to protect children from harms at schools, in their communities and online.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

In today's Speech from the Throne, the Governor General is expected to lay out the government's vision for the pandemic recovery. It won't be easy, with COVID-19 cases on the rise and investor confidence wobbling.
