Thank you, Chair.
And thank you, witnesses, for being here.
Congratulations, Mr. Haddad, for starting a business and being very successful at it. Even able-bodied people can't do that. I'm delighted to see that you've been very successful at doing that.
We did have witnesses at the last session who talked about employment among disabled people being at about 50%. That seems to be an average, but I think in certain disabilities, such as with folks who are blind, it's as low as 20% or 25%, from what I've heard from CNIB.
In addition to that, and talking from the business side, probably about 80% of all the businesses in Canada are small to medium-sized businesses, so employing a disabled person in a business that maybe has 10 to 20 people or something like that is a big burden, in the sense that they're not necessarily making huge amounts of money to be able to support something like that.
My question for all of you is, what do you think the Government of Canada can do to encourage employers to provide opportunities for persons with disabilities?
