AISH recipients upset about lack of consultation on payment-date changes cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
I spoke to people who receive AISH. They are unhappy the government didn't consult with them on payment day changes.

A spokesperson for @RajanJSaw says there were 'informal' consultations. The minister talked to "department policy experts and front-line staff." #ableg
@RajanJSaw Like my colleagues, @charlesrusnell and @jennierussell_ , I received emails that I clearly wasn't supposed to receive on this story (documented in this story).

It turns out it was the only way I was able to drill down on the fact the government didn't formally consult. #ableg
@RajanJSaw @charlesrusnell @jennierussell_ From the emails, it was clear the government didn't want to answer my question about who they consulted with, preferring instead to send crafted talking points that didn't answer my question. #ableg
@RajanJSaw @charlesrusnell @jennierussell_ An email from yesterday I received by mistake showed the government wanted to send me a statement and then ignore my subsequent queries. #ableg
@RajanJSaw @charlesrusnell @jennierussell_ My point in telling all of you this is that the government needs to answer basic questions they get from reporters.

People with disabilities who receive AISH are anxious and afraid about these changes. The public has a right to know basic information about the change. #ableg
