Thank you, ministers, for being here this morning and making your presentations to us in this important area.
I'd like to ask Minister Bergen a question in regard to the issues of Canadians with disabilities.
Certainly the government has done more than any other government in trying to support that area, whether it's through the opportunities fund, the registered disabilities fund in which I know the former finance minister, Minister Flaherty did a great deal of work, or the existing labour market agreement areas for persons with disabilities. Our government has championed the rights of those persons.
Could the minister please tell the committee more about what the government is doing in ridings like mine for persons with disabilities in these areas?
