News National News: Statements On 20th annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities Government of Canada celebrates 20th annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities Ottawa, Ontario, December 3, 2012—The Government of Canada is committed to supporting an inclusive and accessible society for all Canadians. The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, reaffirmed this commitment today, on the occasion of the 20th annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities. “In recognizing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I am proud to join Canadians in celebrating the tremendous contributions that people with disabilities make to our country,” said Minister Finley. “This day reminds us that everyone wins when our communities and workplaces are more inclusive and accessible.” The Government of Canada supports numerous programs and initiatives to promote the inclusion and full participation of people with disabilities in Canadian society. Some of these measures include the Registered Disability Savings Plan, the Enabling Accessibility Fund and the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. On an international scale, Canada committed to continue building an inclusive society by ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in 2010. Through Economic Action Plan 2012, a Panel on Labour Market Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities was created to identify private sector successes and best practices in the employment of people with disabilities, as well as barriers faced by employers. After a series of consultations with the business community this fall, today the Panel submitted its report to Minister Finley and the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance. “We wish to thank the four panel members for their great contribution and are looking forward to reading their report,” said Minister Flaherty. “Ensuring that the labour force is inclusive of Canadians with disabilities is critical to our country’s growth and prosperity.” For more information on programs and services for people with disabilities, visit www.hrsdc.gc.ca/disability. Backgrounder International Day of Persons with Disabilities In 1992, the United Nations (UN) proclaimed that December 3 of each year would be International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Every year, the UN encourages governmental, non-governmental and private-sector organizations to celebrate the occasion by organizing activities that focus attention on disability issues and on the contributions of persons with disabilities to the societies in which they live. The theme of the 2012 International Day of Persons with Disabilities is “Removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all.” For more information, visit the UN website. Panel on Labour Market Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance announced the creation of the Panel on Labour Market Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities on July 30, 2012, as outlined in the Economic Action Plan 2012.

It will be submitting its report to Ministers on December 3. Registered Disability Savings Plan The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a savings plan that helps people with disabilities and their families save for the future. The RDSP, Canada Disability Savings Grant and Canada Disability Savings Bond were introduced in Budget 2007 and became available to Canadians in December 2008. To help people save, the Government of Canada provides a matching grant of up to $3,500 annually depending on the amount contributed and the beneficiary’s family income and a bond of up to $1,000 annually for low- and modest-income Canadians. No contributions are necessary to receive the bond. For more information on the RDSP, visit www.disabilitysavings.gc.ca. Enabling Accessibility Fund The Enabling Accessibility Fund was originally announced in 2007 as a three-year, $45-million program aiming to improve accessibility, remove barriers and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in, and contribute to, their communities. In 2010, the Fund was extended with an additional three-year, $45-million commitment and the creation of a new mid-sized component. Since the first call for proposals in 2008, over 800 projects have been awarded funding to improve accessibility in Canadian communities. Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities The Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities assists people with disabilities to prepare for, obtain and keep employment or become self-employed. The Government of Canada invests $30 million annually through this program to connect individuals with the skills and work experience needed to participate fully in the economy. Through budget 2012, the government also invested an additional $30 million over three years For more information, or to propose a project, visit servicecanada.gc.ca. Labour Market Development Agreements for Persons with Disabilities Through Labour Market Agreements for Persons with Disabilities, the Government provides approximately $218 million per year in funding to provinces to help Canadians with disabilities develop their skills so they can find employment. These agreements support a broad range of programs and services, including job coaching and mentoring, pre-employment training and skills upgrading, post-secondary education, assistive aids and devices, and a variety of workplace supports. Statement by Manon Perreault, NDP Critic for Persons with Disabilities Today, on the International Day for Persons with Disabilities, New Democrats are celebrating the contributions Canadians with disabilities have made to this country. An estimated 4.4 million Canadians are living with disabilities. Much progress has been made to acknowledge and eliminate the obstacles persons with disabilities face every day of their lives. However, far too frequently, they are expected to silently accept barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential. New Democrats know the dire straits many Canadians with disabilities face, including higher levels of financial insecurity, substandard housing, limited employment opportunities, and unequal access to the health services they depend on. We challenge this government to substantively meet its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights with Persons with Disabilities in a timely manner. The entire NDP caucus is committed to building a fairer and more prosperous Canada where each citizen has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Statement by Liberal Leader Bob Rae on International Day of Persons with Disabilities OTTAWA– Liberal Leader Bob Rae issued the following statement today on International Day of Persons with Disabilities: “This year, as we mark the 20th anniversary of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we reaffirm our support for the health, inclusion, dignity and rights of all persons with disabilities. Still today, far too many are denied the quality education, employment and overall life outcomes they deserve, including in Canada where people with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, of which Canada was an original signatory, has provided a roadmap for the integration of people of all abilities in every aspect of society. Five years later, the Conservatives continue to ignore this commitment. On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada and our Parliamentary Caucus, I call on the federal government to collaborate with all levels of government and relevant stakeholders to develop a real action plan that improves the lives of persons with disabilities. As this year’s theme asserts, let us remove barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all.” The Canada Revenue Agency Highlights International Day of Persons with Disabilities OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 3, 2012) - The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) marked the International Day of Persons with Disabilities today by reminding Canadians that there are many credits and benefits available to persons with disabilities, as well as opportunities to save money in a registered disability savings plan (RDSP). Who is eligible? A person is eligible for the various credits if they have an impairment in physical or mental functions that: - has lasted or is expected to last for at least 12 months; - is present at least 90% of the time; and - restricts them in a basic activity of daily life (seeing, hearing, eating, etc.) or causes the person to take an unreasonable amount of time to perform such an activity, even with appropriate therapy, medication and devices. How can you take advantage of the credits and benefits? To claim any of the disability-related credits or to open an RDSP, you have to complete Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, and send it to the CRA. The form must be completed by you (or your supporting family member) and a qualified practitioner. A qualified practitioner could be a medical doctor, an optometrist, a psychologist, an audiologist etc. For a complete list, go to www.cra.gc.ca/disability. The CRA does not charge a fee to process the form or to determine if you are eligible. Once you have completed this step and you have received confirmation from the CRA that you are eligible, you can claim the disability amount, also known as the disability tax credit, when you complete your income tax and benefit return. If your qualified practitioner has certified that the effects of your impairment began before the current tax year, you can request a reassessment for previous tax years. Here are some other non-refundable tax credits available to eligible Canadians or their caregivers: - Caregiver amount - You may be able to claim the caregiver amount if you maintained a dwelling where you and one or more of your dependants lived. Each dependant must have been 18 years of age or older and dependent on you due to an impairment in physical or mental functions. - Children's arts tax credit and children's fitness tax credit - For each credit, families caring for a child who is eligible for the disability amount and is under 18 years of age at the start of the year can claim up to $1,000 per year, as long as a minimum of $100 was paid for registration or membership fees - The family caregiver tax credit - New for the 2012 tax year, the family caregiver tax credit reduces the tax payable of those who take care of dependants with a physical or mental disability. This credit provides an additional amount of $2,000 for each of the following tax credits: - spouse or common-law partner amount; - amount for an eligible dependant; - amount for children under age 18 at the end of the year; - amount for infirm dependants age 18 or older; and - caregiver amount. For more information on tax matters for persons with disabilities, go to www.cra.gc.ca/disability. For broadcast use The Canada Revenue Agency marked the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by reminding Canadians that there are many credits available to persons with disabilities. To take full advantage of these credits, including claiming the disability amount and opening a registered disabilities savings plan, persons with disabilities must first apply for the disability tax credit. More information on how to apply is available on the CRA Web site.

Ontarians with Disabilities Hit the Hardest by Government Cuts: OFL Statement for International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 2012 OFL STATEMENT TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 3, 2012) - December 3 marks the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities. According to the UN, persons with disabilities make up 15 percent of the world's population and a quarter of the global population is estimated to be directly affected by disability, as care-givers or family members. The theme for 2012 is focused on removing the barriers to an inclusive and accessible society for all. In Ontario, persons with disabilities continue to face barriers and challenges that prevent them from fully contributing to their society and economy. According to the 2010-2011 Annual Report of the Canada-Ontario Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities: "A disproportionately high number of people with disabilities in Ontario, as in the rest of the country, have no employment earnings. In 2009, 63% of people with disabilities in Ontario reported employment earnings, compared to 85% of people without disabilities. For those who do work, average earners are lower among people with disabilities as compared to the rest of the population." "Thousands of injured and ill workers who became disabled because of their work are seeking to return to the paid labour market and are confronted by constant reductions in the benefits and support provided by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board," said OFL Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Hutchison. "The complex maze of operational directives and policies of the WSIB increases the stresses and barriers for workers who desperately desire to return to meaningful and gainful employment. Being an injured or ill worker significantly reduces the chances of re-employment in a suitable job within a competitive labour market." Recipients of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) have long challenged how they are treated by this government program. The view of ODSP recipients and their advocates is that the recommendations of the recent report of the Commission for the Review of Social Assistance in Ontario will do little to improve their situation. "The Ontario government has failed to live up to its mandate to reduce poverty by 2013 and people with disabilities continue to be among the most deeply affected," said OFL President Sid Ryan. "Instead of pandering to banks and private corporations, Ontario's Liberal government needs to shift its priorities to put people first." The OFL continues to work closely with organizations such as Accessibilities for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance (AODA Alliance), the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) Action Coalition and the Ontario Network of Injured Workers' Groups (ONIWG), among others, to ensure that Ontario becomes a province that is accessible, supportive and welcoming to all. There are concrete actions that the Ontario Federation of Labour demands that the Ontario government undertake to: - Strengthen the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005; - Develop new accessibility standards; - Ensure enforcement of all federal and provincial legislative requirements; - Increase penalties for non-compliance; - Implement key recommendations of the 2010 Charles Beer AODA Independent Review; - Ensure that taxpayers' money is never used to create or sustain disability barriers; - Ensure the accessibility of provincial and municipal buildings, services and elections; - Review all Ontario laws for accessible barriers; - Ensure justice, fair compensation and full inflation protection for all injured workers; - Mandate Joint Accommodation and/or Return to Work Committees in every workplace; and - Eliminate poverty for any person with a disability. To accomplish these goals, the Ontario Federation of Labour and community allies have launched a campaign to defend the democratic and economic rights of everyone - including those who are most marginalized in our society. By challenging the McGuinty government's "austerity agenda" of deep cuts to jobs and services, a new alliance of labour and community groups is planning to bring public concerns to the doorstep of every Member of Provincial Parliament in the lead-up to the next Ontario Election. "The Ontario Common Front is a positive political mobilization through which Ontarians are presenting their own vision for an inclusive province that promotes, economic equality, the fair distribution of wealth, new revenue generation and a principled approach to governance that lifts everyone up together," said Hutchison. "Ontarians need to work together to hold the Liberal government to account and to demand the removal of every barrier to an inclusive and accessible society." The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. For information, visit www.OFL.ca and follow the OFL on Facebook and Twitter: @OFLabour.

U Sarajevu danas šetnja „ Pokušaj biti JA “ // Novosti // Nema komentara Federalno ministarstvo rada i socijalne politike u suradnji s organizacijama osoba s invaliditetom FBiH, povodom 3. decembra, Međunarodnog dana osoba s invaliditetom, danas organizira šetnju kroz grad pod nazivom “Pokušaj biti JA”. Federalni ministar rada i socijalne politike Vjekoslav Čamber, s drugim kolegama i osobama s invaliditetom proći će kroz grad u “invalidskim kolicima”, s povezom na očima i na taj način pokazati razumijevanje prema problemu invaliditeta i mobilizirati podršku dignitetu, pravima i dobrobiti osoba s invaliditetom. Šetnja počinje ispred Katedrale u Sarajevu (Trg fra Grge Martića 2) u 12.30 sati, a završava se oko 13.30 sati ispred zgrade institucija BiH (Trg BiH 1). Povodom Međunarodnog dana osoba s invaliditetom, Federalno ministarstvo rada i socijalne politike organizirat će u 14 sati prijem za osobe s invaliditetom i organizacije civilnog društva koje pružaju podršku i zagovaraju prava osoba s invaliditetom. Glavna skupština Ujedinjenih naroda, u novembru 1992. godine, usvojila je rezoluciju da 3. decembar svake godine bude Međunarodni dan osoba s invaliditetom. Osnovni cilj obilježavanja Međunarodnog dana osoba s invaliditetom je poboljšanje kvalitete života osoba s invaliditetom kroz poticanje međusobne suradnje i stvaranje partnerstva među postojećim udruženjima osoba s invaliditetom, te na taj način ublažavanje posljedica socijalne isključenosti, kao i senzibilizacija javnosti na prisutnost osoba s invaliditetom u zajednici i probleme s kojima se svakodnevno susreću, ali s naglaskom na mogućnosti kojima raspolažu.
