Thank you, Chair.
I want to echo what my colleague MP Collins said about the Conservative government not funding the Canada disability benefit. That's definitely true, and it doesn't help to have legislation that isn't funded.
Minister, during committee, we heard from organizations and individuals who are being asked to consult on the accessibility plans in the public and private realms for free in relation to accessibility act compliance. Again, this speaks to a culture where persons with disabilities are being disrespected and devalued.
Why has the government not put forward regulations to ensure that the expertise they hold is fairly compensated and not expected to be given for free?
