Yes, I have no difficulty with that.
I just want to speak very briefly again to the motion, which I put on the floor, to strike a subcommittee to emphasize that this comes to us from the disabled community out there that want us to look at some of the issues they are facing, and have been facing for a long time, and don't seem to be getting anywhere with. They don't want to wait for another six months or a year, or for another government, or whatever happens here.
We have had subcommittees in the past. In the 38th Parliament we had a number of subcommittees; we had one on EI that met and hammered out a proposal that came back to the full committee for its blessing and then moved forward. Actually, we had two subcommittees on issues of disability. One was around access to this place, and a report came out that was brought forward to Parliament that was then addressed. Then there was a subcommittee on disabilities that dealt with some other issues. It worked well, and it got some really important work done parallel to this committee that was a priority.
All I'm saying is that it's not me bringing this forward. I'm speaking on behalf of the disabled community that would like us to be looking at some of the issues. They've put out a fairly well-developed and good national action plan for themselves, and they'd just like to see some parts of it be looked at and perhaps brought forward for action by the government.
So I don't know about the rest of you, but in our caucus we have 30 members, and each of us has a responsibility in an area to be critic. We have one member, actually Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who is the critic for disability issues, who would actually sit on that subcommittee on our behalf. So it doesn't mean that all of us have to be on that subcommittee. We can delegate that to somebody else, somebody who has a particular interest in it. That then makes it easier for all of us.
I've already put the motion, so those are my further comments.
