Canadians with Disabilities Act: 1st Priority in Minister Qualtrough's Mandate Letter
Nov 14, 2015
Yesterday, Prime Minister Trudeau took the unprecedented step of publicly releasing all ministerial mandate letters, as part of his plan for open and transparent government for Canadians. Mandate letters (used in many provinces and by the federal government but not in Manitoba) set out the broad expectations and specific priorities that each Mininster is expected to meet.
The mandate letter provided to the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities sets out only six specific priorites for attention. The first on the list reads:
- Lead an engagement process with provinces, territories, municipalities, and stakeholders that will lead to the passage of a Canadians with Disabilities Act. In this work, you will be supported by the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development.
Wow! What a difference an election makes!
