It's never static, but setting a goal of more accessibility is basically telling us that tokenism works, not to say that's what you mean. A goal of making Canada more accessible means that if you put in one ramp in Vancouver and fix one inaccessible website in Halifax, and you've made Canada more accessible. That's all you have to do, and then you can celebrate that we achieved what we set out to do in this bill.
That's not what the government means. They are aiming for a lot more. They've said it. Commend them for their intentions.
What this means is that you need to say that the goal of full accessibility is set by a certain timeline. Whatever the deadline is in Ontario.... If it was 20 years out, that told organizations and municipalities. In the case of the federal government, it would tell Bell Canada, Rogers, Air Canada, Canada Post and the others that you regulate, “Okay, folks, the clock's ticking now, so go back and start making your plans for how you're going to get there on time.” The government will be telling itself the same thing.
It will also enable us to measure progress, because when we're halfway through that timeline, we can ask if we are halfway to that goal. If we're not, then those in your seats will be able to face the call from the community to say that we're ahead of schedule or that we're behind schedule and changes need to be made.
