The government talks about how we must move forward, yet the bill itself does not require us to work with provincial or municipal governments or the communities to realize accessibility.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5528834\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member could comment on that, and whether or not we should make that change at committee.</p>",

Le gouvernement dit qu'il faut aller de l'avant, mais le projet de loi lui-m\u00eame ne nous oblige pas \u00e0 collaborer avec les gouvernements provinciaux, les administrations municipales ou les collectivit\u00e9s pour assurer l'accessibilit\u00e9 aux personnes handicap\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5528834\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je me demande si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait nous dire ce qu'elle en pense et si nous devrions ou non apporter cette modification en comit\u00e9.</p>"
