Every candidate running in PEI in the January 23, 2006 federal election received a short survey of six questions to answer concerning their stands on disability issues on December 16, 2005 [or as soon after as their candidacy and contact information was known]. Their responses are each being posted on this web site shortly after they are received. If no response is given by a candidate, that is indicated as well. To find out what the candidates have to say on major disability issues go to the Candidate Survey Responses page.
