First, I will say, of course, that I believe David Lepofsky of the AODA Alliance will be joining committee as a witness in testimony, and I'm sure he will love to answer that question as well.
The CNIB, as an organization that.... We like to say we're a megaphone for the voices of people with disabilities. This brief we've come up with is not one where we've had people in a room in Toronto who just came up with it. This is based on the experiences and thoughts of people living with sight loss, people who are blind or partially sighted, or have deaf-blindness. There are folks who have wide thoughts on the bill, saying, “We need the money now. Get it over and done with. You people on Parliament Hill can figure it out quickly.”
People are saying there are problems with it. I think what you will find within our brief, which will be submitted after this as part of our testimony, is that there are small tweaks that can be made to the legislation to ensure that those anxieties are overcome by certain people within the disability community and that timelines are put into the legislation. The Accessible Canada Act, when it was being developed, put into the legislation timelines for the first regs to be developed. I don't know why we can't do the same thing here, ensuring that this is done within one year of the coming into force of the legislation.
