Background
On March 11, 2010 Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The CRPD is a new international agreement about protecting and promoting the human rights of people with disabilities. Canada's ratification of the CRPD is viewed by Canadians with disabilities as a milestone and historic event committing all governments to advancing the rights and status of persons with disabilities.
