Global Words of Encouragement to Manitobans (No.22)
Oct 21, 2013
I cannot stress enough how important your legislative work is. The truth that 1 out of 3 people will become disabled between the ages of 18 and 65 is something most do not understand - until it happens to them. Barriers to participation in life are a terrible waste of a country's most valuable resource- its people. Make sure that the legislation you develop is strong and effective. Draft legislation that includes ongoing input from the disability community - so that developed standards work as intended (instead of "window dressing"). Include hard-and-fast compliance dates, measures and sanctions for non-compliance.
