Barrier Free Manitoba

I wholeheartedly support the proposals of Barrier Free Manitoba. The disabled are our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, friends and co-workers. We, as a society, should make a concerted effort to make their lives easier so that they can enjoy the same freedoms as everyone else. It is my sincere hope that the proposed legislation will establish a barrier free province that can be held up to the rest of the world as an example of how the needs of the disabled are attended to in civilized society.
