A national framework for implementation

The following working paper has been developed by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) and the Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL).  It is intended to spark dialogue on implementation of the CRPD and propose concrete actions for consideration.  This paper provides:

· A brief background on the CRPD and the role the Government of Canada and the Canadian disability community played in elaborating the CRPD.

The paper identifies the need for:

· National mechanisms for implementation, monitoring and reporting.

· A robust participation strategy.

· A national framework for implementation.

· A public and transparent review process.

IDEA strongly endorses this process and will be participating in it.
