I'd like to echo what everyone has said around the table in welcoming the three ministers here this afternoon. I'd like to thank you for your opening remarks and express my thanks to your support teams. I know work as a minister is very challenging, and I thank each of you for all you've done to meet these challenges.
My question is for Minister Qualtrough. Let me start by saying I appreciate the passion you bring to the ministry with which you have been charged. It's refreshing and wonderful to hear how much you care about the Canadians you're serving.
I'm going to ask a question with respect to accessibility. For people not living with disabilities, many of these difficulties are invisible. You have just mentioned that. I have worked with high school students for the past 20 years as an advocate and a counsellor. I know the very things you have mentioned. They often have trouble coming and asking for help with different issues—things such as not having a working automatic door, needing help in the bathroom because the sinks aren't at the right height, and being placed in offices that are not wheelchair accessible. It's not just related to young people, of course. It's all people. But having first-hand experience working with the young, I know that small changes can make their lives a lot easier and that they can be integrated into the workplace and communities.
How does the government plan to help working environments and communities to adapt their facilities to ensure better integration of all Canadians? You mentioned the accessibility fund. If you can also speak a little bit about that, I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say.
