Human Resources committee  We believe that the federal government has a number of roles to play in support measures for people with a disability. The first role is to maintain a core funding of our organizations, such as Independent Living-Montreal and, more broadly, Independent Living Canada. We want to inform you—as you probably already know—that core funding will decrease until we no longer receive anything in 2015.

Human Resources committee  Hi. My name is Rose-Marie. I'm going to talk in French. I work for Vie autonome-Montréal. I have had a disability since birth. I am here to tell you about my schooling and career path. Towards the end of high school, I unfortunately received bad advice from my guidance counsellor, who based his advice on my disability.
