Question regarding Canadian ODA

for

I sent the following to the
email provided on the ODA site and it bounced back. I'm hoping someone
here knows:

I am preparing a course on
Web accessibility and am including a section on the status of Web accessibility
in Canada. I will include the ODA's <SPAN
class=610361817-15092004>clause:

Government internet
sites
6. The Government
of Ontario shall provide its internet sites in a format that is accessible to
persons with disabilities, unless it is not technically feasible to do
so.
I am
wondering if any guidelines or standards have been adopted that specific how to
make websites accessible, as this clause seems rather vague. Does
this clause also cover Government Intranet sites? Thanks,
