Guarantee the CDB! 


Guarantee the CDB Act now! Illustration of disgruntled Canadians protesting in front of Parliament HillWe call on the Government of Canada to finalize the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) regulations by March 7 to “Guarantee the CDB” will be paid out as promised on July 1, 2025. 

Finalizing the regulations is the last step in getting the CDB across the finish line. We know it’s not perfect but if the CDB regulations aren’t finalized before a federal election is called, we're at risk of further delaying the start of this urgently needed national disability benefit! 

Join us in advocating now to Guarantee the CDB. Everyone’s voice matters. We can make this happen, together.
