Global Words of Encouragement to Manitobans (No.10)

Oct 03, 2013

People with Disability Australia (PWDA) strongly supports the seven key elements of strong legislation being proposed by Barrier-Free Manitoba, which are designed to ensure that the new legislation proposed by the Government of Manitoba are rights-based and truly inclusive of people with disability. PWDA believes that all new legislation relating to people with disability and the administration of disability services must comply with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and that all legislation, policy and practice complies with internationally agreed human rights obligations, including CRPD. In addition, it is critical that the Government of Manitoba utilise people with the relevant skills and expertise, such as those within Barrier-Free Manitoba, to review and develop disability policy and practice that is CRPD compliant.
