Having no timeline is problematic. As someone said earlier, timelines are often helpful because they help people anticipate when discussions will end.
Ms. Bourgeois said that we want to be consulted on both the bill and the regulations. I believe that a permanent consultation mechanism should be enshrined in the bill to give substance to discussions between people with disabilities, the government and its decision-makers. That way, the outcomes would always reflect what people want and need. Clearly.
With respect to the timeline, people are asking us that question and they're going to keep asking us. You're always going to be asked about that. There is no timeline, when will there be one? It's urgent.
On the other hand, it has to be done right. Why not establish a timeline, even if it's far off in the future? At least people will know where they're going and how they need to work with decision-makers towards an outcome.
