Loomware says what I'm thinking: "This recent announcement from the federal government (to completely transition all publications published by the Publishing Program and publications provided by departments to the Depository Services Program from traditional print to exclusively electronic publications) seems like a long time coming and one I personally am mostly in favour of, if only the government wasn't also decimating other services for the 'those with less', including Internet access. Would this not have made so much more sense together with an announcement about the INCREASE in funding for CAP (Community Access Program), instead of the one killing the CAP program?" As an aside, CAP is the one program I have cited on a regular basis (and used, when I was out of town) as single-handedly moving Canada into the information age.
