Human Resources committee Well, I think I heard the minister reference the Canadian Association for Community Living, and being able to put some of the funding through that. In British Columbia, Community Living B.C. does not deal with young people with autism. How would the applications be applied for B

Human Resources committee Yes. If you could check that out and let me know, that would be very much appreciated. I'm happy to turn it over to my good friend Bob Morrissey.

Human Resources committee I'm interested, in particular, in the issues around accessibility. You've broken them down into a number of areas, so to get a better grasp for understanding, I'd like to focus on autism spectrum disorder. In the budget, you're showing $336.6 million for the Canada disability sav

Human Resources committee Do you know if we have any people with autism spectrum disorder who qualify for that at this stage?
May 7th, 2019Committee meeting
Gordie HoggLiberal
Human Resources committee I would be interested in knowing that. On the other part, in terms of training and employment, where it's more broad-based, $864 million is being referenced, is there a plan for those with autism spectrum disorder to be able to qualify for some training within that allocation fo

Human Resources committee One of the things we have been looking at is the issue of wages as well. The notion of a living wage has come up, so they're trying to get a definition of that, given that the costs of living across our country are so divergent. If I have time for one quick comment to Minister Q

Human Resources committee Thank you, Minister Hajdu. I've been looking at your budget and estimates. I see there is an increase, one of the largest increases, of $43.1 million, and it's with respect to Canada service corps. Could you explain what that increase will entail and the impact it will have?

Human Resources committee Our committee has been studying precarious work for some time, and within the framework of precarious work we have been looking at whether there is a need to modernize some of the labour standards. I note that you have appointed an expert panel to look at some of those issues. I

Human Resources committee Thank you. Another part I really enjoyed is where you talked about Lepofsky. One of the differences he had was that he would take the opposite side of a debate and flesh out the arguments, and he always seemed to win. Could you take the opposite side of the argument you just g

Human Resources committee Thank you very much, Mr. Fulton. You asked whether or not it had a human spin tied to it, and it certainly did. Referencing failures and how we learn from them, certainly in the political world, we see that quite regularly and hopefully learn from them as well. I was particularl
