I will just quickly endorse what my fellow panellists have said.

With respect, again, through the chair, the premise of the question is flawed. This is not a matter that challenges the notion that disabled people should have equal access and opportunity. Absolutely, we agree with you 100% on that, but track one is not available to non-disabled persons. That begs this question: Why is it made specially available to us, given its very substantial implications and harmful consequences?
