In a world of "full participation”, persons with disabilities would have equal access to the physical environments in which we work, live and play. Media and information would be equally available to those with sight, hearing, dexterity or mental disabilities. Persons with disabilities would have equal opportunities to make friends, form intimate relationships and would not face discrimination by others in society. Finally, persons with disabilities would have access to the supports that would help them complete their education, find or keep a job, have an adequate income, experience good health, and participate in their communities and in the political process. Originally to stop accepting submissions in October the deadline has been extended to December 2005. Input can be given by visiting the Canadian Federal Government's website.
