Is this a test of my memory?
In terms of a culture of exclusion, I believe we do, and in many cases it's not purposeful. I just don't think people think about us. But as Sean has so well articulated, they have to think about us now, and I'm pleased that our economy is in such a state that they have to think about us.
To go back to your question around mobility, I think the support piece is important. There's a concern from people with disabilities across the country and at the national level in our organizations about having consistency—I don't want to use the term “standards” because it makes everyone at the federal level quiver—across boundary lines. If I am in St. John's, Newfoundland, Abbotsford, B.C., or Inuvik and have support provided to me by a government, when I move, not only would there not be a two-week waiting period, there would not be a nine-month waiting period. That is the consistency that is paramount for me. If I am living in St. John's, I have access to accessible housing if I need it, I have access to an accessible day care for my children in Quebec if I move there, and I have access to accessible transportation to get me to my employment when I live in Abbotsford, B.C.
That type of consistency in providing disability-related supports is the issue that will impact on people's mobility. If there is no way to mandate that consistency, then I don't move out of my house.
