Struggling for Social Citizenship Disabled Canadians, Income Security, and Prime Ministerial Eras

"In his book, Struggling for Social Citizenship: Disabled Canadians, Income Security, and Prime Ministerial Eras, Dr. Michael Prince observes that, although workers' compensation and veterans' allowances were established as distinct programs, most subsequent disability programs, including original benefits for blind persons, the Canada Pension Plan disability benefit, social assistance and employment insurance, are parts of broader policy frameworks. As Dr. Prince argues, "These diverse access points and separate program designs result in a mottled social citizenship for disabled people."" Hon. Judith G. Seidman
