Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the minister for being here today.
We have two hours with the minister today, so I hope that, at some point, we can have a back-and-forth conversation that's really helping Canadians with solutions for Canadians. Lots of people with disabilities, almost a million right now, are living in poverty, and we have some real challenges that we need to overcome, so we do need to have an open, honest and interactive conversation. I would say to the minister, who comes here and talks about receptions, that there are a million people with disabilities in this country who don't get to go to receptions in the evening, with their free food, their hobnobbing and their photographs and putting it all over social media. We're talking about real challenges, so my question for the minister is about the road map.
The minister said, in the opening statement, that there are four priorities. My understanding is that there are seven, so I'm just wondering how many priorities there are, because they published that there are seven. Then, also, we heard from witnesses about a real need for a culture change, and that's not something that's in one of the seven priorities in the road map.
I wonder whether the minister can tell this committee if there is a mechanism for continuous improvement, for checking in, for identifying things that aren't working and for adding things that need to be addressed.
