Canada's 2025 Federal Election: How, When, and Where to Vote and What to Ask. Here's the complete guide to making sure your voice is heard

Updated: 2 days ago

The 2025 Canadian federal election will be held on April 28 to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament.


What To Ask

AEBC has submitted the following key questions to the top five parties running in the election: Liberal, Conservative, Bloc Québécois, New Democratic, and Green. We will post any responses received to this page. We encourage all members to use these questions as a guide when participating in any community candidate forums over the coming weeks prior to the election.

 

1.    What concrete steps will your party take to ensure the full implementation and enforcement of the Accessible Canada Act, so that accessibility is not just a goal but a reality? 

 

2.    How will your party ensure that blind, Deafblind, and partially sighted Canadians, along with other disabled individuals, have a direct and meaningful voice in shaping policies that impact their daily lives? 

 

3.    How will your party ensure disabled people are not disproportionately affected during emergencies, including natural disasters, health crises, and economic downturns?

 

4.    What are your party's plans for improving financial supports for people with disabilities, such as increasing or expanding the Canada Disability Benefit, and providing adequate income support, including for those who face barriers to employment?
