We'd like to see the BIA amended, because it's going to deal with all circumstances, now and forever, whether you have a trust account or a trustee agreement or whether you're simply providing those long-term disability benefits on a self-insured basis. We'd like to take this first step with the BIA amendment; it would, however, also make sense to proceed to make other amendments in other areas, such as the federal corporations act, the federal labour act, and all the provincial acts.
I would like encourage the Conservative government not to wait, the reason being the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It says every actor in the network of actors who is working with the disabled must do what it can to ensure that the rights of the disabled are protected, so I'd like to see the federal government move with the BIA. I'm of the view that it should go now, it should go first, and it should go in any case. We shouldn't wait for the provinces. We should make the further amendments that should be done to repair this problem once and for all.
