The purpose of this paper is to propose to the legal community the results of work performed by QCICIDH (the Québec Committee for the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps) since 1991 and to apply them specifically to Québec law. This work sheds new light on people with disabilities, particularly regarding discrimination based on « handicap ». The first part presents the conceptual approach developed in this recent work and the terminology that accompanies it. In the second part, an analysis is made of the perspective on law that emerges from QCICIDH work and an initial application to Québec law of the QCICIDH proposal is described. An in-depth examination is then made of the law as a determining environmental factor in the social participation of persons with disabilities and how it may potentially be a facilitator or an obstacle to such social participation.
