The Department is committed to accountability in the implementation of its Accessibility Plan. Consultation results make it clear that seeing results matters a great deal to persons with disabilities.
Well ahead of drafting this second Annual Report, the Department conducted progress measurement and reporting internally and presented the results to the Advisory Committee on Persons with Disabilities. To measure progress, Justice Canada relies on both objective and subjective metrics tied to the actions and supporting actions in the Accessibility Plan. Conducting progress measurement and reporting internally allowed all parties in the accessibility network across Justice Canada – including persons with disabilities, employees, advisory committee members, planning specialists, employment equity specialists, Pillar Leads, and Chairs and Champions – to participate in the process of making the Department more accessible.
This report presents the progress made in each of the areas of focus under the Accessible Canada Act:
- Employment,
- The Built Environment,
