VI. Next Steps

The LCO is currently preparing a broad Discussion Paper related to this Project, slated for release in the early fall of 2009. The Discussion Paper will provide an overview and analysis of the current framework for disability law and principles that might be applied for analyzing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the current framework, and will raise key questions for consideration related to developing a principled approach to the law as it affects persons with disabilities.

Response to this Consultation Paper will assist in shaping the approach to disability issues that the LCO adopts for the purposes of this Project, and in considering how the law may best approach defining disability.

The LCO therefore invites consideration of the issues raised by this Paper. Submissions must be received by Friday, August 28, 2009.
