Library and GLAM Sector Submissions to 2021 Pre-Budget Consultations

 The website Librarianship.ca has published an article on Library and GLAM Sector Submissions to 2021 Pre-Budget Consultations:

"In December 2020, the the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance resumed its Pre-Budget Consultations in Advance of the 2021 Federal Budget."

"Prior to the proroguing of Parliament in August, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) and the Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC)—the national voices for Canada’s research libraries and major public library systems—had published their recommendations for consideration in the next federal budget."

"In November, the Standing Committee published the briefs submitted by other associations and organizations representing Canada’s GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) sector."

There are excerpts from budget submissions from many associations including:

• Canadian Association of Research Libraries
• Canadian Federation of Library Associations (with which the Canadian Association of Law Libraries is affiliated)
• Canadian Museums Association
• Canadian Urban Libraries Council 
• Centre for Equitable Library Access
