Thank you, Chair.
I thank our witnesses for coming in this morning. It's great to see so many passionate advocates on poverty and helping those in need, so again, thank you.
My first question will be for you, Mr. Wafer. I read with interest some articles on you, about what you've done with people with disabilities. In the articles, some of the statistics were staggering: an unemployment rate of 54% for people with disabilities. When you include those who have probably given up looking for work, it can be as high as 70%. Again, I commend you for what you're doing at your Tim Hortons. I think it's a fantastic good-news story.
From a federal government perspective, are you able to give me some opinion or thoughts as to what we can do federally to help those businesses improve accessibility and safety for people with disabilities? What can we do as a federal government to help you and to make more people with disabilities able to get jobs in the workplace?
