The Liberal Party of Canada and Disability Community Involvement

Accessibility is not only an issue of basic human rights, but also one of citizenship. In recognition of this, and to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Liberal Party has set a new precedent for government in Canada.

By joining forces with eSSENTIAL Accessibility™, we are taking part in a global Disability Community Involvement Initiative launched in association with leading advocacy groups for the disabled.
