Library Association Election Priorities and the 2019 Ministerial Mandate Letters

In last fall's federal election campaign, the Canadian Federation of Library Associations outlined objectives in four areas it wanted to see addressed:

• Advancing Social Infrastructure
• Copyright
• Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Language Preservation
• Support for Accessible Formats

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently released the mandate letters for ministers of his new cabinet and the website librarianship.ca has summarized the "policy objectives for several ministers which touch on and support the recommendations from the library community".
