Speaking to the coldness of the system. He has never been contacted by anyone at EIA to see how are you doing? Do you need help finding a job?

#Bill72 #mbpoli

All we need is a little help. We are labelled as something we are not. We have something to give to society. We may not be able to have a regular job like a politician, but we all matter.

With price of everything going up it is difficult.

So let's help people with disabilities become the amazing people they are.

Sam Unrau pointing out the challenge the legislation puts on people in relationships with people with disabilities. Pointing put the barriers to post secondary education.

#Bill72 #mbpoli

Sam is addressing all of the structural barriers of EIA... The legislation perpetuates the status quo... New regs need to reflect true cost of living. #Bill72 #mbpoli

Sam's health decreased while on EIA.

#Bill72 #mbpoli

He had to escape the grips of EIA... Through education he was able to get ahead. But under current regulations, this would not be an option.

#Bill72 #mbpoli

And the ridiculousness of having to be regularly assessed for a permanent disability.

#Bill72 #mbpoli

It was noted by a lawyer that the EIA process is so complicated that you sometimes need to hire a lawyer to navigate the paperwork. That should not be the case.
