Excerpt:
The decision of the Canadian government to abolish a government ministry for people with disabilities has been blasted as “a real slap in the face”, coming at the same time as the country’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme continues to expand.
When Prime Minister Mark Carney announced his new cabinet, it was noted that no minister with responsibility for people with disabilities had been appointed. The post, which had previously been held by Kamal Khera, was abolished, and people with disabilities have shared their dismay and disappointment about the decision, as plans to expand Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme continue.
Decision blasted as “a real slap in the face to eight million people with disabilities in Canada”
Disability rights professor David Lepofsky, who is blind, said “For the prime minister to do this is a real slap in the face to eight million people with disabilities in Canada”. Lepofsky also said the decision is a sign to people with disabilities that they are not a priority.
