Affaires juridiques et gouvernementales

To achieve its mission to advance the inclusion, dignity, and human rights of people with intellectual disabilities, CACL works closely with government - providing policy research and recommendations, information, and awareness-building activities.

There are many ways that CACL engages with governments - through projects funded by governments, through information days with Members of Parliament and the Senate of Canada, through policy consultations launched by governments, and through briefs to various Special and Standing Committees of the Parliament and Senate of Canada.

As well, CACL supports legal cases, where it is determined that legal judgments and principles might be established that would assist CACL in achieving its mission. For example, CACL has supported legal cases to challenge the involuntary sterilization of people with intellectual disabilities, access to education by children with intellectual disabilities, and legal cases involving the victimization of people with disabilities.
