Thank you.
Wage subsidies need to be studied to better understand, because there are a lot of different types. l have seen some that I think become important levers for giving people access to employment where they haven't been given access before. Again, it's because of the kind of discrimination people and women with disabilities face in the workplace. Not getting those opportunities unless there's a wage subsidy on the table can be a reality.
The other reference made to the sheltered workshops is something we in no way support. We see this as a regressive approach that was taken around the idea that these make-work projects were better than just sitting at home. People and women with disabilities have the same skills as any other person. It is fundamentally about providing access through transportation, which is a key issue, as well as the concept of universal design, including many different contexts around different sectors. It is understanding that accommodation is a human right, and educating employers about the fact that they have an obligation to provide equal access to employment. Supporting somebody once they are in the work environment is critical.
