Introducing the Steve Estey Act

A picture of An Act to Amend Chapter 5 of the Acts of 2011, the Elections Act, Respecting Expenses Incurred in Relation to Disability.

On September I was happy to introduce a bill that will make it easier for people with disabilities to run in elections; the Steve Estey Act. It was inspired by Steve’s experience of being a person with a hearing impairment running in a provincial election. I was also very happy to welcome Steve’s family: wife Ann McRae, mother Dee Estey, and sister Jane Estey to the legislature to witness its tabling.
