Suggestions in the Third Review of the AODA
Every four years, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario appoints someone to review the AODA. Moreover, this reviewer spends time meeting with the public, especially people with disabilities, discussing possible improvements the AODA might need. As a result, the reviewer writes a report about how effective the AODA and its mandates are. During public meetings for the third review of the AODA, attendees outlined many barriers that people with disabilities face. More improvements to the AODA would help to remove existing barriers and prevent future ones. Therefore, in addition to direct recommendations, Onley’s review also includes discussion of these barriers and suggestions from attendees about how to remove them. This article lists the suggestions in the third review of the AODA.
