As a follow up to my last post, John McCallum, the minister responsible for Canada Post issued a statement regarding the book shipping rate for libraries:
"The library book rate is a tremendous tool that helps us achieve some of our most fundamental public policy objectives ... A strong literacy rate and low-cost information sharing will be critical as Canada continues to position itself as a world leader in the knowledge-based economy."
The statement also included a comment that the current agreement, set to expire April 2006, will be extended indefinetly.
This is excellent news!
