I have one quick question, which I suspect someone else has already asked the Minister and I missed it. We are and will be having a significant influx of people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Like all communities and cohorts, a certain percentage of those refugees will be people with disabilities. People are even finding it difficult to leave Ukraine because of their disabilities and the level of disruption they are experiencing. What kind of work is the Department doing on this issue?
