(1/14) 34 disability organizations, including ARCH, delivered a letter earlier today to @CQualtro calling on the Government of Canada to recognize the unique vulnerabilities of persons with disabilities and their families during #COVID19 - a thread. #DisabilityRights
(2/14) The Government of Canada must ensure that people with disabilities, who represent 22% of Canada's population, are not denied health care or triaged out of care during this pandemic solely on the basis of having a disability. #DisabilityRights
