Accessible Canada Act

The CER’s inaugural Accessibility Plan 2023–2025 (Plan), was posted on our external website on December 30 in compliance with the Accessible Canada Act. It is the product of several months of consultations with staff, as well as research into barriers to accessibility, and the identification of potential solutions to those barriers.

The work reflected in this plan builds on changes currently underway at the CER to update policies, programs, practices, and services to create a more inclusive environment for everyone, and a more accessible one for persons with disabilities.

The Plan is a key part of the work to improve diversity and inclusion at the CER, as well as our strategic priority to increase trust and confidence in the CER as a regulator and as an employer of choice. The Plan aligns with the implementation of the CER’s Diversity and Belonging Roadmap, and commitments identified in the Employment Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Plan for 2021–2024, which are provided to Parliament on an annual basis.

The CER fully supports the Government of Canada’s goal to create a barrier-free Canada by 2040 – which includes identifying, removing, and preventing barriers to accessibility in the federal jurisdiction.

We look forward to receiving input on the Plan – feedback is invited and welcome, as it helps us continually improve and target our efforts to create a barrier-free CER.
