Recognizing the need to unify the presentation of governmental information on the web, the Government of Canada has developed CLF 2.0 (Common Look and Feel for the Internet 2.0). Part 2 of CLF 2.0 is the Standard on the Accessibility, Interoperability and Usability of Web Sites. The context for the CLF accessibility standard is that:

The key to effective implementation of universal accessibility lies in designing sites to serve the widest possible audience and the broadest possible range of hardware and software platforms, from adaptive technologies to emerging technologies.
