"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7344835\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I am going to focus on the very beginning of the member's speech when he talked a bit about the need to support people with disabilities in the workplace. I have had disability advocates, including people with lived experience, come to me and talk about how this is not only discrimination in hiring, but accommodation and accessibility in the workplace. If we want people to feel welcome in the workplace, we need to ensure that we get rid of ableist policies and that we do everything we can to accommodate people with disabilities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344836\" data-originallang=\"en\">The House of Commons is an ableist workplace. For people with disabilities who want to run to become members of Parliament, virtual Parliament would be a huge step in ensuring that we have policies that support accommodation and accessibility. I am curious as to whether the member can respond to those comments.</p>",

Des d\u00e9fenseurs des droits des personnes handicap\u00e9es, y compris des personnes ayant une exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue, sont venus me voir pour me dire qu\u2019il ne s\u2019agit pas seulement de discrimination \u00e0 l\u2019embauche, mais aussi d\u2019adaptation et d\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 en milieu de travail. Si nous voulons que les gens se sentent bienvenus sur le lieu de travail, nous devons nous d\u00e9barrasser des politiques discriminatoires et faire tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour aider les personnes handicap\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344836\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Chambre des communes est un lieu de travail capacitiste. Pour les personnes handicap\u00e9es qui veulent se pr\u00e9senter pour devenir d\u00e9put\u00e9s, la participation \u00e0 distance serait un grand pas en avant pour nous assurer que nos politiques soutiennent l\u2019adaptation et l\u2019accessibilit\u00e9. Je suis curieuse de savoir si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 peut r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ces observations.</p>"
