As Canada begins to recover and learn from the COVID-19 pandemic, health equity and public health policies must be a central tenet of reform. Recent work has begun to provide guidance on an equitable pandemic recovery in Canada, which highlights many important groups that require specific consideration in recovery policies.1 There is a key omission in many of these guidelines and, in fact, most health equity efforts-people with disabilities.
