The timelines and extensions have been referenced a number of times, and I think there's a lot more commonality than is being portrayed.
There are a number of principles that we talked about, and the principles can be implemented in a number of different fashions. Not everything should be in legislation. We've referred to the standards, the practices and to accreditation. All of those are important variables in the provision of any types of disabilities.
I was an active participant in the development of disabilities legislation in British Columbia, where we created Community Living B.C. We went through a very similar process and we relied heavily upon input from the people who were part of it. Any good public policy has to have the people who it impacts having not just an important say in it, but also a say in the process by which it becomes implemented.
I believe we have followed the majority of principles that have been put forward. I think there is pretty good agreement on both sides of the House, or all around the House, in terms of those principles. I think there's a disagreement in terms of how they can best be implemented to respond most effectively to the needs of making our country most accessible.
We heard many people coming before us say that we are leading the world in terms of moving forward with this legislation. We're really at the forefront and I think we should be relying on those people who have the ability and the skills within the framework of the legislation, and the practices and the accreditation that we have available to us. I think we have come to a very good balance in terms of being able to do that.
I'm very pleased, delighted and darned excited about what we've been able to achieve.
