Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that November is celebrated globally as Disability Awareness Month;
2) further notes that the international theme proclaimed by the United Nations for this year is Removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all;
3) recognises that persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others;
4) acknowledges that the Disability Awareness Month offers an opportunity for every single person and institution to remove barriers and to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities through concrete action; and
5) calls on all to raise awareness of this month and the positive initiatives and information about the disability sector.
Agreed to.
