Ms. Rabaa's letter highlighted the committee's concerns about barriers to accessibility being created at the committee. Ms. Rabaa wrote that, during her audio test, staff informed her that \u201cthere were no issues with the quality of the device being used.\u201d Of course, the perspectives of Canadians who are blind or deaf-blind, or who have low vision, should not be rendered inaccessible at any committee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631788\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm hoping we can quickly have consent among members to remedy this issue by asking that the chair apologize to Ms. Rabaa on behalf of the committee for the barrier to access and provide an explanation to Ms. Rabaa as to why her audio test was deemed successful but she was then not allowed to participate. Can we invite Ms. Rabaa to reappear at the committee for one hour? We can easily accommodate this. The committee agreed last week to leave the study open, pending the appearance of the minister for an hour. Therefore, the study is still open and we can easily have an additional hour scheduled for Ms. Rabaa.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631789\" data-originallang=\"en\">One suggestion could be, so that it doesn't take away from other committee business.... We have other times in the future when we'll be looking at drafting instructions. Maybe we can tighten that meeting up or even ask for written submissions, because drafting instructions.... It's really just getting feedback from committee members about how we want the analysts to write the report. That might be a way of adding in that extra hour very easily.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631790\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8631785\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631786\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je serai tr\u00e8s br\u00e8ve, car je sais que nous avons des t\u00e9moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631787\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un peu comme ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 lors d'une autre r\u00e9union, je signale, tr\u00e8s rapidement, que nous avons re\u00e7u une lettre de l'Institut national canadien pour les aveugles, l'INCA. La lettre de Mme Rabaa a fait ressortir les pr\u00e9occupations du Comit\u00e9 concernant les obstacles \u00e0 l'accessibilit\u00e9 qui sont cr\u00e9\u00e9s au Comit\u00e9. Mme Rabaa a \u00e9crit que, pendant son test audio, le personnel l'a inform\u00e9e qu'\u00ab il n'y avait pas de probl\u00e8mes avec la qualit\u00e9 de l'appareil utilis\u00e9 \u00bb. Bien s\u00fbr, les perspectives des Canadiens qui sont aveugles ou sourds et aveugles, ou qui ont une faible vision, ne devraient \u00eatre rendues inaccessibles \u00e0 aucun comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631788\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re que nous pourrons obtenir rapidement un consentement parmi les membres pour rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me en demandant au pr\u00e9sident de s'excuser \u00e0 Mme Rabaa au nom du Comit\u00e9 pour l'obstacle \u00e0 l'acc\u00e8s et de fournir une explication \u00e0 Mme Rabaa quant \u00e0 la raison pour laquelle son test audio a \u00e9t\u00e9 jug\u00e9 r\u00e9ussi, mais qu'elle n'a ensuite pas \u00e9t\u00e9 autoris\u00e9e \u00e0 participer. Pouvons-nous inviter Mme Rabaa \u00e0 compara\u00eetre de nouveau devant le Comit\u00e9 pour une heure? C'est une chose facile \u00e0 faire. Le Comit\u00e9 s'est entendu la semaine derni\u00e8re pour laisser l'\u00e9tude ouverte, en attendant la comparution de la ministre pour une heure. L'\u00e9tude est donc toujours ouverte, et il est facile d'ajouter une heure suppl\u00e9mentaire pour Mme Rabaa.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631789\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une suggestion, pour que cela n'enl\u00e8ve rien aux autres affaires du Comit\u00e9... Nous aurons dans l'avenir d'autres moments pour examiner les instructions de r\u00e9daction. Nous pourrons peut-\u00eatre raccourcir cette r\u00e9union ou m\u00eame demander des m\u00e9moires \u00e9crits, car la r\u00e9daction des instructions... Il s'agit vraiment d'obtenir les commentaires des membres du Comit\u00e9 quant \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont nous voulons que les analystes r\u00e9digent le rapport. Cela pourrait \u00eatre un moyen tr\u00e8s facile d'ajouter cette heure suppl\u00e9mentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8631790\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>"
