I appreciate that.
I would agree with your comments, but in my opinion, it would be difficult to reach the same outcome if one group has some legislation that forces them to get to that outcome and another group doesn't. One of them can apply for an exemption and wouldn't have to reach that outcome at all. Your members would have legislation that ensures you meet those standards, whereas government departments would not. There's also an appeal process for government departments that isn't there for federally regulated associations. I think that is something we need to address in this legislation. That's something I wanted to bring to your attention.
I have one quick question.
Mary Ann, you were talking about something with your disability lens. One of the officials from the government said that anybody who self-identifies as someone with a disability would be considered. I want your clarification. What would that entail—someone who self-identifies as someone with a disability? I hadn't heard that term before.
