It's about getting back to fixing the building code. “Guidelines” is not the right word. People don't understand standards or parts of legislation.
Enforcement is critical. Without enforcement, people are not scared. When the act was first passed, everybody was on their toes, ready to act. Unfortunately, as they started to become comfortable—and we saw this over the last 20 years in Ontario—they got settled into thinking that maybe this wasn't urgent. They didn't take it seriously.
As a long-time educator, I agree with Amanda and everybody else who said in their testimony that it's about breaking this down into smaller, achievable deadlines that people can hit, knowing they're going to be accountable through the accessibility commissioner. This is an arm's-length position that is already in the act. We need to be using the commissioner in the same effective way we've been using Stephanie Cadieux, the chief accessibility officer.
Lastly, in terms of education, we live in a systemically ableist society, unfortunately, with a great deal of bias about what disabled people can or should do. This is getting in the way a great deal. I would like to see investment in training the next generation of designers and clients in order to make sure they understand that accessibility is better for their business and an integral part of what it is to be Canadian.
