Hi
Jules,
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"

governments write these policies so that they can say "look what we're doing for
people with disabilities", but then they don't implement their own policy.
Its like what is the point? From my understanding, the BC Government is
doing the same thing. We need a big legal case on Web accessibility, not
that the Human Rights Code has much bite. Anyway, assuming the ODA
is followed, do you know how "Web accessibility" is define, ie Priority 1 and 2
or whatever?? For this course I am developing, I am looking for
Canadian examples of what IS being done, hoping to create a need to follow what
others ARE doing. May be easier said than done.
