| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Connie Laurin-Bowie and Bob Walker focusing on programs and services for Aboriginal disabled persons in Canada living on- and off-reserve. They cite research that Aboriginals living on reserves are almost twice as likely as the average Canadian to have a disability. People who have a disability are economically disadvantaged and vulnerable, and the presenters call upon the Commission to ensure that funding continues for programs to help both disadvantaged Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
