The federal Liberals’ budget bill currently making its way through Parliament contains a small amendment to Canada Post’s legislation that could spell the end of a critical service providing accessible reading material for people who are blind.
That’s a great letter. Thanks for posting it here.
There are other big problems with Bill C-15 like the part where any minister can exempt a person/organization from any act of parliament (outside of the criminal code) under their responsibility. It’s section 208.
