Nova Scotia Government Puts Brakes On Accessibility Bill 59

Graham Steele, CBC News Political analyst, March 8, 2017
The Bill 59 Community Alliance is only a few months old, and has already become a powerful player in any discussion around the future of the Accessibility Act. Last week the legislature saw a remarkable example of effective citizen action. The alliance has been working from the moment the McNeil government hit the pause button on Bill 59 last November. When the four alliance spokespersons appeared before the Law Amendments Committee last Thursday, they carried the endorsement of 35 organizations serving Nova Scotians with disabilities. That’s remarkable. That’s the power of numbers.
