Great development ! Wish all countries take cue from the action taken by the government of Canada.

It still amazes me that it took 4-5 years of smashing people over the head with the highest legal court, just to make them consider using heading elements and properly labelled form controls.
Staggering...this lazy form of discrimination is still where the mainstream is at, decades after it was made illegal. Even within the governments which passed those laws.
Accessible websites are easy when you know how. Stop being lazy!

This is a very good news. I will spread this one. Honestly, if I havent read the thread, I wouldn't know such a thing. I would just like to say that to be able to trigger other countries to do the same, then they must learn about this.
Let's spread this good news everyone!
Thanks for sharing.
