"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I just want to comment that I truly appreciate, on behalf of persons with disabilities what the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is doing. I remember when the sign language bill came up; it started in Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and Sen. Sakaja gave it strong support until it was published and it is where it is. I am happy that the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has taken up the sign language interpretation Bill that is before them. After publication, it will be there for public hearing. I want to call up persons with disabilities from all over to come and enrich the Bill so that it becomes a law. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are a person with a disability and when it comes to persons with disabilities, ones who go through academia, the most disadvantaged are the deaf because of the language barrier. This will be a good bill that will help solve the language problem of the deaf. I want to thank my fellow Senators for supporting persons with disabilities when they come up with bills in the Senate. Thank you fellow Senator for supporting us always. Thank you for inclusivity in the Senate. I support."
