Thank you.

A key part of realizing the Accessible Canada Act is the work of Accessibility Standards Canada. We know that developing and implementing standards for accessibility must be done hand in hand with the disability community in the true spirit of “nothing about us without us”.

Deputy Minister, can you outline how Accessibility Standards Canada works directly with the disability community in developing these accessibility standards?
