Subject:	MOVIE THEATRE CAPTIONING

TO WHOMEVER MAY HELP
 
I am both a Audiologist and the relative of a profoundly deaf person.
 
The provision of captioning for movie theatres would be of significant positive impact on the social 
inclusiveness of the deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens of our land.  The loss of a right to advocate for this, 
and to complain when some provision is NOT available will inhibit the opportunity for a significantly un-
provisioned part of our society to be included in the normal round of activities we all take for granted.
 
 I strongly urge that the application for exemption be NOT granted, and that we encourage all our business 
to be inclusive in attitude.
 
Yours 
Sincerely
 
Ron Linning
Director
