The major initiative, I think, would be to look at a national disabilities act, which would require publicly funded organizations, institutions, crown corporations, and so on to make accessibility a higher priority and provide some funding and some incentive, and employer and institutional training, particularly human resource systems, but whole levels of the organization getting education about what they can do about it.
I actually don't think people are unwilling. We've come a long way. People are not of the mindset that disabled people shouldn't be given a chance. I'm not suggesting that for a minute. I think we've opened up our minds to accept that they're part of society. What we haven't done is actually make it a living thing, that it is possible to be fully integrated. We still think it's somebody else's problem. Which level of government, which department, will do it? Nobody seems to own it. It's a collective issue.
There was a study done a couple of years ago at the national level--and I somehow think Andy Scott was associated with it, but I've forgotten. It changed the focus from saying that disability is a social problem to looking at the rights of people with disabilities as just part of citizenship in general. So not unlike my colleague speaking about workers rights for the marginalized, our view would be that if we really think about people with disabilities as being citizens of this country, they need to be able to access everything that you and I would. It's unavailable in formats they can access.
