Liberal reply to magazine industry says party would maintain PAP
The Liberal Party of Canada has told Magazines Canada -- in response to a series of questions about funding and other matters -- that
- it would support the continuation of the publications assistance program (PAP) and
- commit to continued funding of the Canada Magazine Fund at current levels.
- However, it declined to say it would do anything to introduce competitive postal delivery for magazines.
- And it merely said that it would review any recommendations of the current review of Canada Post as it related to the introduction of distance-related pricing.

A pro-business government is still preferable to the PAP handout.
Of course, they'll keep PAP. They'll just tack it on to the other $80-plus billion they've promised Canadians. Slim chance they'll form the government, but if they do, there's an even slimmer chance they'll keep their promises.
Didn't the Chretian liberals promise CMPA/Magazines Canada to get rid of the GST (on magazines, and everything else)?
Despite governing for four terms they didn't even shave a 1/2 point off the GST or off magazines.
Call me cynical.
