I can start with the operationalization of the definition of “disability”. That is taking the definition that is currently in the proposed accessible act, parsing it and looking at each of the words. I'll use the CPPD as the example.
CPPD has a very clear definition of what a disability is. They define what “prolonged” is. They define “severe”. If we all agree that the definition in the proposed act encompasses “episodic”, then as a community of academics, researchers and parliamentarians, we need to look at the words “permanent”, “temporary”, and “episodic”. These are the three words that are currently proposed in the definition. We need to come up with a clear definition of what those words mean and then give that to the statisticians and the people who work with questions on a regular basis and get them to operationalize that definition.
I did this. I came before a committee when they were looking at the definition that was embedded in the DTC, the disability tax credit. I took them through that process, saying that this is what you need to do in order to have a clear definition of what “episodic” means.
