I think one of the strengths of this legislation is that it is structural in its approach rather than individualistic.
I referred before to the three objectives of policy, equity, access and support. Whereas the Employment Equity Act is about equity, about ensuring freedom from discrimination, this one is more about ensuring access and looking at the responsibilities of individuals and organizations toward people with disabilities. It's ensuring an equitable and inclusive environment rather than affording people with disabilities redress against discrimination.
It's a different way of approaching the same issue. Of course, the two ideas of equity and access are related, but I was delighted to see that this legislation was taking an access approach rather than simply adding another layer of anti-discrimination protections, which we're well furnished with in Canada.
