Thank you for your question, and I thank Mr. Lessard for the question earlier.
As I said, the poverty act in Quebec I know works in some contexts. I certainly don't think that a poverty act alone is a solution, but I can tell you from the experience of having used the program that it has a significant impact in terms of opportunities for employment for people with disabilities and for women with disabilities in Quebec.
Do I think we need legislation? I don't think there's any question that legislation is the only way to go. We've been politely waiting for people to do the right thing for a very long time, and it hasn't happened.
There are 2.3 million women with disabilities in this country, and there's one national organization that's grossly underfunded. I can't address some of the specific questions you have, and part of the reason is that I'm under-resourced. As an organization, I'm grossly under-resourced. I didn't come here today to ask for money for my organization, but I can say that I'm alarmed that there are so many women with disabilities in this country and virtually no programs. There are no programs directed at women with disabilities, not at the national level, not at the provincial level, and not at the municipal level. It's like a blank page.
