As the question was posed to me, I'll say to Mr. Tilson that the argument could be made with respect to law-making as a general proposition. We are required to comply with the Constitution of Canada, the charter, and the Canadian Human Rights Act. When you entrench language such as this in the statute, you elevate the importance it is accorded by the government as an act of Parliament. By entrenching disability rights in the Citizenship Act, we are emphasizing that the Canadian Parliament and its government takes the matter of “reasonable accommodation” very seriously.
