We had great turn out at the regional meetings that we hosted for Individuals, Families, Friends and Candidates. There were 3 key issues we asked families to address to Candidates during this election. These issues are about PEI being accessible, inclusive & supportive in the long term for individuals, families members. All of the Candidates committed to moving our message forward within their parties,regardless of the results of May 4th. You can make a difference by staying in touch after the election, with your representatives and ensure that PEI ACL's message about the changes that need to be made for our sons, daughters and loved ones are made. There needs to be a commitment to making changes, so that the RDSP is FULLY exempt, that the PEI Tax Act is changed to bring the disability tax credit (DTC) equal to the Federal income tax act, and that after 15 years of drafting legislation on Supported Decision Making, we can ensure that persons with intellectual disabilities have the right to have their decisions legally recognized and receive the support they require in making those decisions.
I have posted the postcards, here, in case you didn't receive one. If you want a hard copy, get in touch with me, and I will make sure you receive one. Thanks!
