Montreal, Dec. 2 2014 / CNW Telbec / – Then Minister of Health and Social Services, he asked for a review and corrective measures aimed at making buildings built before 1976 more accessible. Addressing Mr. Russell Copeman, at that time president of the ‘National Assembly, he added that this request was very pressing on the part of people with disabilities.
Philippe Couillard is seeking, among other things, the reformulation of article 69 of the “Law ensuring the exercise of the rights of people with disabilities with a view to their professional, school and social integration.
The Minister at the time demanded the inclusion of “Accessibility of buildings”
Let us quote the Minister of Health then, now Prime Minister of Quebec:
Mr. Couillard: “… for obvious reasons, but the owner refused to build an accessibility ramp for paraplegics for cosmetic reasons,” he said. Is that something, huh, that we still have to deal with these attitudes? ”
Ms. Charest (Rimouski): “Yes. This is to say how far down a road to go. ”
Mr. Couillard: Okay, there you go. So it is a question of ensuring that this owner, within the framework of this law and the regulations to be determined by the Minister, must do so there.
Now that Dr. Jekyll has become Mr. Hyde, the speech is quite different. The Premier of Quebec has no embarrassment, no qualms about cutting anything related to people with disabilities. Shameless.
He no longer requests the Minister of Labor, Sam Hamad, to report to him on the accessibility of buildings, which the social inclusion of people with disabilities.
Ten years ago today, Philipe Couillard proudly wore Dr. Jekyll’s coat. Ten years will have been enough for the metamorphoser into Mr. Hyde.
“Is it something, eh, Mr.” Hide “and Mr. Hamad that we still have to deal with these attitudes? ”
