Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses for being here today. Before I start my questioning on this topic I would like to quickly move the motion that I put on notice at a previous meeting. I believe there's agreement amongst committee members. That motion reads:
That the committee extend the study of accessible transportation for persons with disabilities by at least one additional meeting, in order to hear testimony from persons with disabilities with lived experience, and organizations representing persons with disabilities.
While the motion says “at least one additional meeting”, I think we've settled on the idea of one additional meeting to hear testimony. Really the rationale for this is that, as folks around the table know, we heard some excellent testimony from regulators, from companies, but the testimony from people with lived experience was quite minimal. I think the study would benefit, and the report would benefit, from hearing those voices at one additional meeting.
I'll move that motion and look forward to any discussion.
