Mr. Speaker, the Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées is on now and wraps up on June 7. The theme is “Living Life to the Fullest”.
I would like to take this opportunity to renew my support for organizations in my riding, especially the Regroupement des organismes de promotion de personnes handicapées de Laval, a group of organizations that work with people with disabilities.
Throughout the week, many activities will be held to encourage people with disabilities to get involved socially and to promote the idea of social participation. As usual, theme days have been organized throughout the week. Today is “pay day”, which is designed to raise awareness about the challenges people with disabilities face in the workforce.
I therefore invite my colleagues here in the House of Commons to thank the organizations in their ridings that work with people with disabilities.
