"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1484221\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quickly, I have a couple of examples. We continue to see that when people with disabilities are recruited, a number of them are put on short-term contracts, which immediately creates a challenge in that people don't have the benefits that go along with those types of employment opportunities. So they're really faced with the challenge of having to decide whether to remain on social assistance, where there may be benefits and supports that go along with it, versus an employment opportunity that may be short term and without benefits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1484222\" data-originallang=\"en\">There's also the real challenge of accessible transportation for people. A lot of people can't even get to the workplace once--or if--they do get an opportunity. We need to be able to deal with that type of matter, let alone the challenges that go along with accommodations in the workplace, whether they be physical access types of arrangements, accessible and adapted technology types of arrangements, flexible work arrangements, and so on. We need to take into account the full range of issues in order to ensure that once people are in the workplace they have the opportunity to be successful, to be retained, and to be developed and move on.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1484221\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je peux donner bri\u00e8vement quelques exemples. Lorsque des personnes handicap\u00e9es sont recrut\u00e9es, nous continuons de constater que c'est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement pour des contrats \u00e0 court terme, ce qui pose imm\u00e9diatement un probl\u00e8me puisqu'elles n'obtiennent alors pas les avantages reli\u00e9s \u00e0 l'emploi. Leur dilemme est donc de d\u00e9cider si elles ne devraient pas plut\u00f4t rester tributaires de l'assistance sociale, avec les prestations et m\u00e9canismes de soutien associ\u00e9s, au lieu d'accepter un emploi qui risque d'\u00eatre de courte dur\u00e9e et de n'offrir aucun avantage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1484222\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a aussi le vrai d\u00e9fi du transport accessible. Beaucoup de personnes ne pourraient m\u00eame pas se rendre \u00e0 leur lieu de travail si elles obtenaient un emploi. Il nous incombe de r\u00e9gler ce genre de probl\u00e8me, sans parler des probl\u00e8mes reli\u00e9s aux accommodements sur le lieu de travail lui-m\u00eame, qu'il s'agisse de faciliter l'acc\u00e8s physique aux installations, de permettre l'utilisation de technologies adapt\u00e9es, d'offrir des arrangements de travail flexibles, etc. Nous devons tenir compte de toute la gamme de questions pertinentes pour faire en sorte que les gens, une fois qu'ils obtiennent un emploi, ont la possibilit\u00e9 d'y r\u00e9ussir, de le conserver et de s'y \u00e9panouir.</p>"
