加拿大邮政局保存着航运图书馆书籍,尽管拟议的费率变动威胁到查阅机会。 Canada Post keeps shipping library books despite proposed rate changes that threaten access.

加拿大邮局将继续推行图书馆航运计划, 尽管C-15法案提议终止图书馆间材料的贴现费率, Canada Post will continue its library shipping program despite Bill C-15 proposing to end discounted rates for interlibrary materials, a move critics say risks long-term access. 该方案约占合格航运费用的90%,对农村和偏远图书馆至关重要,去年仅在纽芬兰和拉布拉多就运送了近214,000件物品。 The program, covering about 90% of eligible shipping costs, is vital for rural and remote libraries, with nearly 214,000 items shipped last year in Newfoundland and Labrador alone. 虽然《加拿大邮报》坚持其承诺,但倡导者警告说,取消法律保护可以允许今后提高费率,从而威胁到可负担性以及获得书籍和资源的公平性。 While Canada Post maintains its commitment, advocates warn that removing legal protections could allow future rate hikes, threatening affordability and equity in access to books and resources. 他们敦促立法保障措施确保该方案的稳定。 They urge legislative safeguards to ensure the program’s stability.
