Cam Tait supports the Alberta government's new program for people on Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped .

Tait has learned there is much fear and confusion about the changes.

He says the government is touting ADAP as greater independence, but he sees it as less support.

A disabled advocate calls it a "clear example of ableism and bigotry".
