PART I: INTRODUCTION

Annual Report: 2003-2004

During the past fiscal year, we have witnessed significant changes at the Federal level. The Rt. Hon. Jean Chretien retired from office and Paul Martin became Prime Minister and formed a new Cabinet with many new faces. Additionally, a new department was also created-Social Development, which has been tasked with addressing disability issues. These changes placed new demands on CCD: the cultivation of new champions of disability rights at the political level.
