2025 Election Survey Results
As Canadians prepare to head to the polls on April 28, 2025, the Canadian Association of the Deaf – Association des Sourds du Canada (CAD-ASC) has launched a survey to assess where the five major political parties stand on key disability-related issues. While Canada has made progress toward inclusion, serious gaps remain in policy implementation, funding, and political commitment—especially for Deaf, Deaf-Blind, Hard-of-Hearing, or Deaf and disabled (DDBHHD+) individuals. The parties’ responses—or lack thereof—offer insight into their positions on accessible elections, housing, the Canada Disability Benefit, inclusive technology, and more.
With the 2025 implementation deadline for key federal initiatives fast approaching, the next government must ensure transparency, accountability, and meaningful engagement with the disability community. CAD-ASC has sent the survey and follow-up reminders, and will update the results within one business day of receiving each response.
