Sec. 5 of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation states "...designated public sector organizations shall incorporate accessibility criteria and features when procuring or acquiring goods, services or facilities, except where it is not practicable to do so." It is the responsibility of each employee purchasing a good, service, or facility to consider and apply the appropriate accessibility criteria to their purchasing decisions or provide an explanation if for any reason you have not incorporated accessibility criteria and features in your procurement.
