Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Speaking to the subamendment, this basically means that the government doesn't have an obligation to meet any kind of timeline; it's strictly a progress report. The government is not committing to any type of timelines here. That's what they're looking to interject.
That's concerning, especially considering that we had testimony from the minister and officials, who said maybe around a year is likely where it would be. Now this is making it sound like it's going to be considerably longer than that.
Again, they've had more than a year to work on this. The legislation has been exactly the same as the previous legislation. We heard that they were even consulting before the original legislation. Now they're looking at punting it way further down the line. It's very non-committal, and it's sort of surprising that the government's not committing to something stronger in this legislation.
They say in their public statements that they want to provide for people with disabilities and that they want to be helpful. They make lots of really great statements and press releases, yet the actions—we can see it right here—don't reflect that. They don't reflect anywhere near the timeline that the government is talking about.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
