Thank you very much for taking the time to be here today to talk to us as we start this new and important study.
One of the items that was brought up earlier this morning was Mr. McColeman's motion. One of the key components of that, to my mind, is the examination of the expert panel and the findings with respect to employers and the advantages of private sector led initiatives. You've had a couple of comments with regard to the reluctance on behalf of some private sector initiatives.
I wonder if you could provide us your perspective, from the programs that you've implemented, on efforts to deal with private sector employers to encourage them to allow individuals with a wide range of disabilities to participate. What have you noticed as being key issues or key challenges that either private sector employers have spoken to you about or, if they have not articulated them, you have witnessed over the course of implementing your programs in which private sector individuals are involved?
