Liberal members will travel the country and listen to concerns. Phunney is concerned that a recent report by the federal Standing Committee on Human rights and the Disabled made six recommendations, but the government rejected five of them. "Since the government's response has been called vague, complacent and patornizing by the national groups, the Liberal caucus has decided to hold formal hearings to take the initiatives that the Government refuses to act upon," commented Ms Phinney.
