Mr. Speaker, last week the report of the ministerial task force on disabilities issues was presented to the Ministers of Human Resources Development, Finance, Justice, and National Revenue.
I want to thank all the people who participated, from colleagues to the operation centre at HRDC, the Library of Parliament, the reference group members, officials from minister's offices and observers who placed their trust in the process. Most important, I want to thank the thousands from across the country who came out to the public forums.
The essence of our report is simply that we believe that wherever you live in Canada as a citizen who happens to have a disability, you have the right to expect of your government the necessary interventions to make opportunities available to you as equal as possible.
I look forward with optimism to the government's response to the task force's recommendations.
