Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being here today.
I'm more of a glass half full than a glass half empty kind of person and I think you are, too. I was very inspired by your presentation to committee, because you talked about the fact that we're all in this together, so let's get something done and let's move forward.
I'm certainly more familiar with Community Living. Community Living Mississauga, where I am from, is very active in the community. It's a very well-run organization and they have excellent partnerships with employers.
Can you share with us some of the best practices with employers? Who's getting it right? We know there are many corporate citizens in Canada who are actively employing people with a range of disabilities. It's part of their corporate philosophy. They're doing it not necessarily because government is or isn't doing anything to support that, although some of them certainly are taking advantage of the fact that governments at all three levels and community organizations are playing a role in helping with that. I'd like to hear some of the success stories. I'd like to hear about some of the best practices. What is working? These champions in the corporate community who are employing people with disabilities, and it's working out for their companies, why are they getting it right and what can we learn from that?
Mr. Bach, maybe you would want to start.
