    "content": " Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I take this opportunity to support this Motion on the Floor. The question of human rights touches so much on the day-to-day lives in countries and in our own country. The issue of human rights should be understood as a moral entitlement that every individual in the world possesses, given by God. As a human being you are entitled to that right. One of the issues that we observe especially as persons with disabilities is the question of accessibility to places of public services to the citizenry. I have travelled and at one point I had an experience where the airlines in this country do not provide means by which we board the planes depending on the disability. I was shocked one day when I was asked by a flight attendant: “Who admitted you into this flight anyway”? I brought this to the attention of the House through various committees and I was surprised to learn that some of the companies did not think that this was a human rights issue. Therefore, I support this Motion this afternoon. We want to address many issues if this Motion is enforced."
