That's not acceptable, and our hope is that Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9990870\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-81/\" title=\"An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada\">C-81</a> will go a long way to removing and tearing down those barriers and opening up your worlds.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633581\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Arnot, thanks for your testimony. My first question is to you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633582\" data-originallang=\"en\">The underlying theme, from the comments we have heard about timelines and reporting in the study thus far, seems to be one of concern regarding insufficient accountability mechanisms.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Contrary to an assertion made during the previous session, the accessibility commissioner would be required to report to Parliament by submitting an annual report to the minister, who is then required to table that report in Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633584\" data-originallang=\"en\">In addition, clauses 131 and 132 also require independent reviews of this legislation: after the first five years under clause 131, and every 10 years thereafter under clause 132.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633585\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Arnot, based on your experience in Saskatchewan, are these accountability mechanisms adequate? Can you also suggest ways that they could be improved? Thank you. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5633577\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633578\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bonjour \u00e0 nos t\u00e9moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633579\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les t\u00e9moignages continuent d'\u00eatre vraiment tr\u00e8s instructifs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633580\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Roots et monsieur Folino, je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9 des d\u00e9fis auxquels vous avez fait face cette semaine lorsque vous \u00eates all\u00e9s voter. C'est inacceptable, et nous esp\u00e9rons que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9990870\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-81/\" title=\"An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada\">C-81</a> nous permettra de lever et de briser ces barri\u00e8res et d'\u00e9largir vos horizons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633581\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Arnot, merci de votre t\u00e9moignage. Ma premi\u00e8re question s'adresse \u00e0 vous. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633582\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le th\u00e8me sous-jacent des commentaires que nous avons entendus sur les \u00e9ch\u00e9anciers et les rapports de l'\u00e9tude jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant semble \u00eatre inqui\u00e9tant et porter sur des m\u00e9canismes de responsabilisation insuffisants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633583\" data-originallang=\"en\">Contrairement \u00e0 une affirmation faite au cours de la s\u00e9ance pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, le commissaire \u00e0 l'accessibilit\u00e9 rel\u00e8verait du Parlement en pr\u00e9sentant un rapport annuel au ministre, qui le pr\u00e9senterait par la suite au Parlement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633584\" data-originallang=\"en\">En outre, les articles 131 et 132 pr\u00e9voient \u00e9galement des examens ind\u00e9pendants de la loi: apr\u00e8s les cinq premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, d'apr\u00e8s l'article 131, et tous les 10 ans par la suite, suivant l'article 132. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5633585\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Arnot, selon votre exp\u00e9rience en Saskatchewan, ces m\u00e9canismes de responsabilisation sont-ils ad\u00e9quats? Pouvez-vous \u00e9galement proposer des fa\u00e7ons de les am\u00e9liorer? Merci.</p>"
