总理关于国际残疾人日的讲话

🔊 朗读

 

总理贾斯汀·特鲁多今天发表以下声明，纪念国际残疾人日：

“建设一个公平、包容和无障碍的世界始于国内行动。今天，值此国际残疾人日，我们再次承诺致力于建设一个没有障碍的未来，让所有残疾人都受到尊严和尊重，并获得平等的成长机会。

“四分之一的加拿大人有残疾——许多残疾是不明显的。处于工作年龄的残疾加拿大人靠低收入生活的可能性几乎是其两倍。这是不可接受的——这就是为什么我们去年启动了历史性的《 残疾人包容行动计划》 ，这是一份变革蓝图，旨在使加拿大更具包容性并改善残疾人的生活。通过具体的计划、政策和关键投资，该计划将帮助残疾人获得经济保障、找到并保住一份好工作，并能够充分参与社区生活。

“我们正在制定加拿大残疾人福利金，该福利将为低收入、工作年龄的加拿大残疾人提供直接支持。残疾本质上是多种多样的——没有一刀切的解决方案，这就是为什么加拿大人可以使用加拿大残疾福利条例在线参与工具分享他们独特的观点。我们还成立了残障包容商业委员会，优先考虑无障碍和包容性的工作场所，并确保残障员工能够充分参与工作。我们将继续与加拿大各地的残疾人社区、省和地区以及组织合作，让加拿大更加无障碍，并确保没有人掉队。

“这一理念——不让任何人掉队——也是加拿大在促进建设更加公正和包容的世界方面所发挥作用的核心。残疾人权利就是人权，加拿大将继续采取雄心勃勃的行动，在包括联合国和世界卫生组织在内的国际论坛上捍卫残疾人权利。

“我们致力于确保残疾人有平等的机会充分参与、取得成功和取得进步。今天，每一天，我都鼓励加拿大人更多地了解如何在自己的社区和全国范围内促进包容和平等。让我们继续共同努力，让我们的国家变得更好，对每个人都更加包容。”

Statement by the Prime Minister on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities

December 3, 2023
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities:

“Building a fair, inclusive, and accessible world starts with action right here at home. Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we recommit ourselves to working toward a future free of barriers, where all persons with disabilities are treated with dignity and respect, and are provided with equal opportunities to thrive.

“One in four Canadians have a disability – many with disabilities that are not visible. Canadians of working age with a disability are nearly twice as likely to be living on a low income. That is unacceptable – and that is why, last year, we launched the historic Disability Inclusion Action Plan, a blueprint for change to make Canada more inclusive and to improve the lives of persons with disabilities. With concrete programs, policies, and critical investments, the plan will help those with disabilities get financial security, find and keep a good job, and be able to fully participate in their communities.

“We are working on the Canada Disability Benefit, which will provide direct support to low-income, working-age Canadians with disabilities. Disabilities are diverse in nature – there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and that is why Canadians can share their unique perspectives using the Canada Disability Benefit Regulations Online Engagement Tool. We also created the Disability Inclusion Business Council, to prioritize accessible and inclusive workplaces and to ensure that employees with disabilities can fully participate on the job. We will continue to work in partnership with disability communities, provinces and territories, and organizations across Canada to make Canada more accessible and to ensure that no one is left behind.

“This idea – of leaving no one behind – is also at the heart of Canada’s role in promoting a more just and inclusive world. Disability rights are human rights, and Canada will continue to take ambitious action to champion disability rights at international forums, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

“We are committed to ensuring persons with disabilities have equal opportunities to fully participate, succeed, and get ahead. Today, and every day, I encourage Canadians to learn more about how they can promote inclusion and equality in their own communities, and across the country. Let’s continue working together to make our country better and more inclusive for everyone.”
