This petition asks the federal government to work with provinces and territories to standardize disability support programs so that people with disabilities don't lose their benefits when they move to a different province.

There are disability support programs under provincial and territorial jurisdiction;

These programs are fragmented and poorly integrated across the country;

The lack of coordination across the country creates a mobility penalty for people with disabilities; and

This undermines the freedom of movement between provinces and territories for citizens and permanent residents, which is a protected right under Section 6 of the Canadian Constitution.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Engage with the provinces and territories to ensure that people with disabilities can move across the country freely without losing access to essential supports; and 2. Work with the provinces and territories to ensure that disability supports have the same standards and rules across the country.
