Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee I've spoken with many families that have children in these situations. I gather that the situation hasn't improved. They have a major issue with access to services. Many families turn to the private sector or head to Quebec. Families living in areas such as northern Ontario come to Ottawa because there are more resources.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee Unfortunately, in general, when it comes to special education and education for children with disabilities, complaints play a major role. That's how families receive services. Not everyone has easy and direct access. This is at odds with inclusive education.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee Over the long term, they won't have the same access to education as all other children. The objectives of provincial legislation aren't being met for all children.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee Thank you, Mr. Chair and subcommittee members, for your invitation to contribute to your vital work on human rights. Canada has obligations for inclusive education under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Canada must uphold the rights of children with disabilities at the national level and through international co‑operation.
