About this listen

 In the final episode of this special season of the 2030 Project Podcast focused on the Canada Disability Benefit, we are joined by the Honourable Kamal Khera, who was recently appointed Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities on July 26, 2023.
In the season finale, Minister Khera discusses how the Canada Disability Benefit will help break barriers down by fostering accessibility, inclusiveness, and supporting employment efforts for persons with disabilities. She underlines that the Canada Disability Benefit is a supplement to, not a replacement for, other benefits received by persons with disabilities, and stresses the importance of increasing the financial stability of the most vulnerable by reducing the barriers they face. As a committed advocate, Minister Khera emphasizes the use of intersectionality in her approach, and leaves listeners with a parting message urging them to continue to engage and collaborate with their communities and the government, to realize a future where persons with disabilities do not have to live in poverty.
