There are lots of things the federal government could do right now without new legislation, such as conducting more aggressive outreach and hiring programs within the federal public service, such as making the voluntary transportation standards into regulations, such as making it possible for someone like me to verify my vote, such as making government websites truly accessible. There was a commitment for that to happen by the end of last year, and the matter is now before the Federal Court.
These things can all happen now, even without the convention, but with the convention, what we're really looking for is action. There may be some value in new research, but what we really need is using the federal authority that already exists to improve our lives.
