The Manitoba Government is introducing a new income support program for those with disabilities.
An online survey has been launched to receive feedback so Manitobans can decide how the new program should operate and what kinds of assistance should be provided.
The online consultation will focus on fundamental questions to help with the parameters of the program.
Those with disabilities are currently eligible for Employment and Income Assistance if they have a mental or physical illness or disability that prevents them from supporting themselves.
This is different from other provinces that have multiple income programs tailored to certain kinds of disabilities.
Families Minister Heather Stefanson says through the Disability Matters Vote campaign, Manitobans called for those kinds of alternative income programs.
You can take part in the consultation until January 31, 2020, by clicking here.
