Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 3 December marks the annual observance of the International Day of Persons living with Disabilities and the aim of this day is to promote an understanding of disability issues;
2) further notes that this day also seeks to increase awareness about gains that are derived from the integration of persons living with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life;
3) acknowledges that persons living with disabilities continue to face barriers to their participation in society and are often forced to live on the margins of society;
4) believes that dignity and justice for all persons are universal principles, and the rights of all members of the human family form the foundations of freedom, equality and justice for all, and peace in the world; and
5) commits itself on this day, to the creation of an ever-expanding frontier of the dignity of people living with disabilities, since the achievement of that dignity, for this section of our society, should be predicated on the freedom of the individual to determine his or her destiny.
Agreed to.
