The other power the federal government has, besides that convention, is the power to dole out money. They dole out significant numbers of dollars to the provinces and to individuals, to individuals in EI and CPP, and to the provinces generally in infrastructure money, in money that is spent on social transfers, on health transfers. But there are no strings attached to those transfers as far as disabled persons are concerned.
In fact, the most recent example is that the changes to the EI system, in my view, discriminate against persons with disabilities, because it takes them longer to find a job, and that seven weeks where you have to find a job that's lower in wages is not amended for a person with a disability. What I'm hoping the government will do is take the results of this committee and use them to look at their actions through a disability lens, to actually use the disability lens to make the Canada pension plan changes in Bill C-45 a positive change rather than a negative change. We still don't know what the results of that will be.
