If we ensure that people have at least high school education, get back for some retraining, and get the disability supports they require--for example, the help from other people, technologies, wheelchairs, medications and so on--and if we ensure that the community transportation system is accessible for people, the chances are very good that the employment levels for people with disabilities will be very close to those of other Canadians.
In order to achieve those goals there needs to be more collaboration between various levels of government. Community transportation is a municipal responsibility. The issue of disability supports kind of cuts across the federal and provincial jurisdictions. I think we really do need to look at how to get levels of government working more effectively together, so they can put in place the accommodation funding, the disability supports funding, and use their collective economies of scale through procurement. These supports could be much more affordable if governments were to join forces and jointly purchase the accessible technologies that John has suggested are needed, to jointly purchase the medications people require and so on.
