Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. It's my honour today to bring this motion forward on behalf of the many people who live with disabilities in the Northwest Territories. The Government of the Northwest Territories through the NGO Stabilization Plan funded a study that was completed by NWT's Disabilities Council of the status of disabled people in the Northwest Territories, and the results were somewhat discouraging. First and foremost, the number of people with disabilities has grown and so has unequal access to the different supports that they need to live whole and fulfilling lives. Underemployment is common. Barriers to access in many different dimensions are also common. Poverty is widespread.
