Please take a moment to complete the Alliance for an Inclusive and Accessible Canada's* survey about Canada’s proposed federal accessibility law.
The Alliance is conducting the survey to help identify the disability community’s accessibility and inclusion priorities. We are seeking input from people with disabilities, their families and caregivers, and other stakeholders such as service providers, employers, unions, industry representatives and associations.

Dear Mr. Streiner:
Subject: Request for a meeting
Don't do it because it is the law...
Accessibility laws that require accessible websites are there to take care of the laggards, the companies and organizations that don’t know what is good for them, the ones that don’t have the foresight and understanding to look out for their own health and survival. It is for the corporations that are equivalent to kids that fail to brush their teeth.
