Human Resources committee  Economically speaking, in the intellectually disabled world, there is a gentlemen by the name of Mark Wafer, who owns a bunch of Tim Hortons—

Human Resources committee  Pardon?

Human Resources committee  You've met Mark? Who tells a greater story from a business aspect on the benefits of hiring somebody with a disability? You want to look at numbers, right?

Human Resources committee  There you go.

Human Resources committee  Could I quickly add one thing?

Human Resources committee  I would quickly comment on something Michael just said. The RDSP program, for example, is fantastic. Canada is very fortunate to have that. In our world, the number of people with intellectual disabilities who have taken advantage of the RDSP program is minimal because they can't get to it.

Human Resources committee  Your question was around employment specifically. Do you want me to stop?

Human Resources committee  I don't represent the hearing-impaired community. However, we do sit on a committee with the folks from the hearing-impaired community. Absolutely, that is identified as an issue here in Canada.

Human Resources committee  To have specific seats representing specific disabilities, is that your question?

Human Resources committee  Yes, we would. We think it's important that each disability have representation as the experts on issues that arise around that specific disability.

Human Resources committee  We feel that the act needs to have timelines and deadlines listed for the changes required, as well as for reporting on these changes. Without deadlines, organizations may not do what they need to in order to increase accessibility and remove barriers. As well, there need to be timelines for putting regulations in place.
