Senator Moreau, last month the Chief Accessibility Officer released her annual report, which focuses on barriers to accessible transportation faced by people with disabilities. The officer notes that persistent barriers to accessible transportation are a significant obstacle to achieving the legislated goal of a barrier-free Canada by 2040. Will the government commit to placing accessible transportation on the agenda at federal-provincial-territorial meetings, as recommended by the officer?
I don’t have an immediate answer to your question. I understand that your question is more a recommendation that you would like to make to the organizations that are preparing for the federal-provincial-territorial meetings.
I just realized that I’m answering your question in French.
I’m sorry. I should have answered your question in English.
I understand that your question is more a recommendation to the organizer of federal-provincial-territorial meetings. I will certainly ensure that your suggestion is taken into consideration.
