Mr. Alex Benay (Chief Information Officer of the Government of Canada, Treasury Board Secretariat) at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

I'd be happy to.

As of April 1, 2018, our new information technology policy requires accessibility by default for new systems bought or developed. We've also issued, as of a few weeks ago, Government of Canada digital standards. The application of these standards will be required for the development of new services to Canadians, where accessibility by default is also not a nice-to-have but a must-have. In a lot of cases, we have started putting in place the rules pre-emptively around accessibility of systems in the Government of Canada.
