I have an earpiece that I have to use because I cannot hear. I am deaf in one ear. People do not understand this because they cannot see my disability and I do not talk about my disability. There was a big concern about that with masks during COVID. People who are disabled because of their hearing read lips, and we could not read lips when we could not hear things. We heard comments from people who said we are speaking too loudly. Well, we speak loudly because we cannot hear and understand them. The issue of invisible disabilities is extremely important to a lot of disabled people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344847\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to quickly speak of a constituent who is 43 years old and has four children. He has lost the ability to raise his children. He had cochlear implants put in. His concern with this legislation is that while there are regulations, they do not tell him what he can do and how he can get back to work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344848\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member would mind commenting on those invisible disabilities and the ability for people to get back to work.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7344845\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie les commentaires de mon coll\u00e8gue sur les nombreuses questions qu\u2019il a soulev\u00e9es. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344846\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce que j\u2019entends dans cette enceinte est int\u00e9ressant. J\u2019ai un appareil auditif que je dois utiliser parce que je n'entends pas bien. Je suis sourd d\u2019une oreille. Les gens ne le comprennent pas parce qu\u2019ils ne voient pas mon handicap et que je n'en parle pas. Il y avait une grande pr\u00e9occupation \u00e0 ce sujet avec les masques pendant la pand\u00e9mie de COVID\u201119. Les personnes malentendantes lisent sur les l\u00e8vres, et nous ne pouvions pas lire sur les l\u00e8vres \u00e0 d\u00e9faut de bien entendre. Nous avons entendu des commentaires de personnes qui disaient que nous parlions trop fort. Eh bien, nous parlons fort parce que nous entendons et nous comprenons mal. La question des handicaps invisibles est extr\u00eamement importante pour de nombreuses personnes handicap\u00e9es. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344847\" data-originallang=\"en\">J\u2019aimerais parler rapidement d\u2019un \u00e9lecteur \u00e2g\u00e9 de 43 ans et p\u00e8re de quatre enfants. Il a perdu la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9lever ses enfants. On lui a pos\u00e9 des implants cochl\u00e9aires. Ce qui le pr\u00e9occupe dans ce projet de loi, c\u2019est que, bien qu\u2019il y ait des r\u00e8glements, ils ne lui disent pas ce qu\u2019il peut faire ni comment il pourrait retourner travailler.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7344848\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pourrait parler un peu des handicaps invisibles et de la capacit\u00e9 des gens \u00e0 retourner au travail.</p>"
