Bill C-322 (formerly Bill C-458) -Library
Materials
Petition in
English
Pétition en Français
Introduction of Bill C-322- An Act to amend the
Canada Post Corporation Act (Library Materials) -
Mr. Merv Tweed (Brandon—Souris, CPC) - Mr. Speaker, this
amendment would do two things. It would preserve a reduced rate for postage
on books between libraries, and would expand the library book rate program
to include magazines, records, CDs, CD-ROMs, audio cassettes, video
cassettes, DVDs, and other audio-visual materials. This is something that
Canadian libraries and Canadians have been asking for since 1967.
I would like to thank Rhea Laube for her tremendous work on the bill on my
behalf and on behalf of all Canadians. I look forward to the support of all
members of Parliament on this very important amendment.

for export to any eligible developing country listed in the law; to allow any
pharmaceutical product to be eligible for compulsory licensing; to simplify the
exportation of a drug to any eligible country in any quantity; to eliminate the

countries to benefit from that program.
