This is not a national-level law, but it has been something that has wider reach beyond Ontario from what I know. Question: Should this be on the Canada page or should we ensure that AODA is queued up for inclusion on an Ontario-specific page when we address State/Province/Territory laws and policies @slhenry?

I think it is very helpful if this issue (Ontario's accessibility law) is included in the W3C database. A global company based on outside Canada should also take care of this if that campany has a branch or subsidiary in Ontario (This is just what I experienced before). For non-Canadian users, it might be easier to refer if this issue is listed in the Canada page.
