Abstract

Whose voices will prevail when the story of MAID is written? This special issue of the

Canadian Journal of Disability Studies argues, not surprisingly, for disabled voices to be heard

with resounding force. To this end, we have assembled in this volume testimonial statements

entered into the parliamentary record by disabled and disability-aligned citizens immediately

prior to a radical and – as argued in these texts – discriminatory, expansion of MAID law and the

regime it authorizes.
