Text

In many ways, Minister, we talk a lot about inclusivity in the House, but the Bill is a real move towards inclusivity for a section of our community that has often found itself to be invisible. Given that you talked about the cross-cutting nature of the Bill, what commitments have you had from the Finance Minister about providing funding for the necessary increase in interpreters and from the Education Minister about improving the lives of young people who suffer from those challenges?
