Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
Its
roots
are
here
in
british
columbia
and
after
the
introduction
in
2008,
the
bc
government
at
the
time
set
the
national
best
practice
by
exempting
the
rdsp
from
bc
disability
assistance
payments
both
as
income
and
asset.
The
rdsp
is
an
important
tool
in
the
efforts
to
end
poverty
for
people
with
disabilities
on
its
own.
It
offers
people
with
disabilities
a
chance
to
accumulate
savings
and
to
use
them
without
fear
of
clawbacks.
A
We
need
everybody
to
be
talking
about
the
rdsp.
Even
with
the
financial
security
it
can
provide
many
people
who
qualify,
don't
have
one
many
canadians
know
and
take
advantage
of
our
rrsps
and
resps,
but
far
fewer
people
know
about
the
rdsp
and,
unfortunately,
some
simply
refuse
to
accept
that.
There's
a
government
program
that
truly
invests
in
people.
I
can
understand
that
skepticism,
but
it
really
does
and
here's
how
for
every
dollar
put
into
an
rdsp
account
the
federal
government
can,
if
your
family
income
is
below
98
000
match
up
to
three
dollars.
A
This
is
the
canadian
disability
savings
grant
for
people
living
on
a
low
income
of
less
than
32
000.
The
federal
government
will
put
in
one
thousand
dollars
each
year
for
20
years.
This
is
the
canada
savings
disability
savings
bond.
Anyone
can
contribute
to
an
rdsp
on
behalf
of
an
individual
with
a
disability,
so
people
can
help
in
the
way
that
they
are
able
and
british
colombians
have
led
the
country
in
taking
advantage
of
the
rdsp.
