Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks, Mr. Nunan and Ms. Moore, for the presentation and the opportunity to hear more about the CNIB.
I come from the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna Lake country. In the interior of British Columbia we have a very active CNIB. They have a few staff members but many volunteers. I have many constituents who take advantage of the services you generously offer. Some of them are veterans, and others are of different ages.
I recognize that it's White Cane Week this week, and in the next hour I'm meeting with four of the reigning Canadian national blind curling champions who are here in Ottawa. It's the national blind curling championship this week. They're the third-time champions and are looking forward to a fourth time, so they appreciate all the support as well.
I've been approached by some visually impaired individuals about the election process with Elections Canada. Have you had any recent dialogue with them? The 2006 election was my first, and I had a few people complain about the process. They like to keep their independence and they're not allowed to because of the ballot structure.
