We're asking that Bill C-81 be amended by adding before line 18 on page 12 the following new clause:
33.1(1) In carrying out its mandate, the Standards Organization must, on a continuing basis, (a) hold public consultations on the accessibility standard it should next develop and on any proposed accessibility standard; and (b) make available to the public progress reports respecting the development of accessibility standards. (2) The Standards Organization must make available to the public the minutes of meetings of the board of directors and of advisory or other committees. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2), the minutes of meetings must include the text of all proposed accessibility standards considered at the meeting.
This is basically adding a level of transparency and accountability to the CASDO board.
