Dr. Frazee, we heard prior testimony today from Krista Carr from Inclusion Canada. She described this situation now as the “worst nightmare”. That's pretty strong language for those persons with disabilities. What is the government missing here in what I think is an overreach in this response?
Our position was that this should have been appealed. It was a lower court decision in Quebec and it should have been appealed. When you have a brand new bill, as Bill C-14 was, it's the government's responsibility to defend its legislation and at the first instance, it gave up on its own legislation and the safeguards that were in it.
I'd ask you to speak to why this would be described as the worst nightmare for those persons with disabilities.
