Re: Disability is Not a Partisan Issue
Dear Sir/Madam:
Pre Budget Consultation Brief to The Standing Committee on Finance: Disability Is Not A Partisan Issue
Submission from The Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD)
December, 2010
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.
Why the CRPD Is Important
