Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a couple of points. I assume we're going to have bells ringing soon.
One of the challenges that I think we've done a better job at for people with disabilities—at least, people with physical disabilities—is making changes to the building code. When I was first elected in 1997, I was the first member of Parliament in the riding I represent to have a wheelchair ramp. When we think of that today, it is shocking, absolutely shocking. When I rented my first office, that was part of the deal. If the owner built a wheelchair ramp, I would rent from him. Today we take this for granted.
But can we take it a step further? Part of the discussion with one of our witnesses a while ago concerned the notion that it should be in the building code that every home should be as wheelchair-accessible as possible, or at least easy to retrofit. You should have 36-inch doors, your bathroom door should open out instead of in, little things, even concerning your door handles.
Are we headed in that direction, at least?
