I congratulate you on the quality of your work. With regard to employment, there is a provision whereby businesses are encouraged to take on a certain percentage of people with disabilities. That might not necessarily be intellectual disability. Have you a sense of the extent of that in practice? You mentioned that 7% are in employment, according to the study. I presume you would be of the view that many more of that cohort of people could work. Have you any suggestions on how best to encourage employers to take on people with intellectual disability as employees?
