"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I support the Report in the way the Committee has presented it. However, I have some concerns on the language used in the recommendations. The Constitution is very clear. It says 5 per cent of all employment in all public institutions must be the absolute minimum for persons with disabilities. The Committee carried out an inquiry whose main objective was to assess the ethnic and diversity representation within public institutions, specifically by PWDs. They noted that 2.1 per cent of the institutions they inquired about did not comply, but not all of the institutions. By now, I would have inquired for a list of all public institutions that have not met the 5 per cent threshold. That is an offence. The Committee says that public institutions should review their human resource policies within three months. They should not. They must. They recommend that within six months, the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) should initiate amendment to the Persons with Disabilities Act. I agree. Within six months, public institutions should formulate and put into effect comprehensive disability mainstreaming policies. They should not. That is why I disagree with the Report in its recommendations with the usage of the word should. The word should be replaced with “must”. It is a great Report to which a lot The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
