I thank everyone for coming. In particular, I thank Mr. Dalton for sharing his experience. It is difficult when we have to retell our stories over and over again. I thank Ms Cassen for her contribution. I was particularly struck by several things she said but especially that one aspect of a person's identity is an impairment and that should not exclude him or her from full inclusion and participation in society. Everything she said about ambition and the international examples she gave were great to hear. I thank her for her advocacy.

How many members does the DFI have?
