Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here. I'd also like to thank them for the work they do, particularly at the Office of the Auditor General. We know that all the studies they provide are important for our work and our role as parliamentarians.
Thank you as well, Ms. Cadieux.
Ms. Cadieux, you've been in your position for a short time, and you have a big mandate. In the first paragraph of the executive summary of your first report of 2023, you say, “Too often, throughout history, people with disabilities have carried the load of advocating for their own inclusion and equal participation in society.” You also said was that “fundamentally changing the culture around disability” was necessary.
Do you think there's been any progress on the culture of change issue?
Do disability groups continue to advocate on issues as fundamental as inclusion in the areas of employment, transportation, accessibility and housing?
What is your analysis of the progress of the culture towards these people?
