No, this is not something I see as the provincial government's responsibility to enforce. This is about creating an environment where people have the opportunity to participate fully. That means being able to participate to the level at which they wish to participate. If somebody chooses to engage or not to engage, then I would suggest to you that this is exactly what we would want somebody to be able to do, to have the choice to do that. The issue, as we understand it, is that people aren't having the opportunity to make that choice because of the social or economic barriers they face. So we hope to be able to remove those barriers to allow them that opportunity should they wish to take it.
