To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

WHEREAS all government offices and organizations must be obligated to assist and accommodate persons with communication disabilities.

WHEREAS a public system should be established to assist persons with communication disabilities, so that they can access public services, private businesses, and government organizations.

WHEREAS legal aid should cover human rights and civil matters.  Persons with communication disabilities are more vulnerable, more likely to experience discrimination, and more likely to live in poverty and require legal assistance.

WHEREAS private businesses cannot make victims of anyone, particularly those with communication disabilities.  Presently there is no protection for them, and they are continually taken advantage of.

WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

A public system must be established to assist persons with communication disabilities through legislation.  The legislation must be written to hold accountability at local levels of service to assist or guide the communication disabled with the help of a public system of experts. Advocacy for people with disabilities makes for a better society, one that makes room for everyone.
