Just quickly, I have one last point.

I would hope that not only the federal departments enable nothing without us, but that in the provincial realm, provincial governments provide equal opportunities for disability groups in their own jurisdictions to be involved somehow, creatively, in what traditionally are closed intergovernmental discussions.

There needs to be greater transparency and opportunity for disability groups to have a voice, not just with their local MLAs or MPs, but with both orders of government, to ensure that we start to try to dovetail these definitions.

Thank you.
