The Waterford Valley MHA told the House the Liberals are considering a 2023 report that recommended combining the province’s Seniors’ Advocate role with that of a disability advocate.
“Justice Robert Fowler […] looked through and said that the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate should also include people with disabilities,” Korab said Monday.
Executive Director Nancy Reid says the coalition is “very much opposed” to a disability advocate being created and “lumped” into the role of the Seniors’ Advocate.
And we see action on the part of government to respond to the things—to the studies—that are brought forward by the Seniors’ Advocate.
We need the same thing for our community.”Korab said Monday he is “getting up to speed” on the calls for a disability advocate.
