Economist Gillian Petit, who conducted an independent analysis of the ADAP framework, said the government’s projections overstate the benefits of the program.
She argued the lower base benefit combined with reduced exemptions means most recipients will be worse off unless they can maintain steady, higher-paying work.
“This ADAP program is going to fail on all the metrics that the government’s promised,” Petit said.
“It’s going to fail to empower Albertans with disabilities because it removes their choice, and it’s going to fail to provide higher earnings exemptions. People are going to have lower benefits unless they’re working at least a part-time minimum wage job.”

This is going to be yet another boondoggle by the UCP.
