The committee looks at speaking on employment issues on behalf of individuals with disabilities. This committee of twelve is basically the voice of adults with Down syndrome in Canada. They respond back to our board with information on areas of concern. Employment is one of three key areas that these twelve adults from across Canada have identified as a problem area. So they're basically researching. They're looking for opportunities in their own community to present, to speak at panels like this about employment issues and outcomes, certainly, for people with disabilities.
