Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, am happy to support this motion. The first time in my riding I have seen the difficulties people with disabilities face, you know, whether it's in the winter, we have a lot of deep snow in our communities and no vehicles for people with wheelchairs to travel around in. Many times their family members take them in their vehicles. They have to pack them in, put their wheelchair away; a lot of struggles. We do have some families that use their own money that they've saved up to buy a vehicle that's needed for their child or their family member. More has to be done.
Even in Inuvik, only this past year we finally have taxis that now can take people with wheelchairs. I mean, we're finally moving up with the times here. More needs to be done, whether it's elevators, you know, a lot of our buildings don't have elevator access. Simple little things like this are needed. That way people with wheelchairs or other mechanisms can move around in buildings, whether it's public buildings, community halls. You know a lot of the challenges that our constituents face here. Now is the time we need to put money forward to make sure we live up to what they need and their standards.
I would like to thank the mover and seconder once again. I'm happy to support this motion. Thank you.
