I'd like to start by thanking you for being here.

I have a basic question to start with. This is a little bit of information overload, I agree with Bonnie.

The definition of disability--and I was looking at the PALS you were referring to--talks about two million working-age Canadians reported. It looks almost like a self-report of some form of disability. What is the definition of disability, and could you maybe differentiate between a learning disability versus a physical disability, or something like that?
