For what has been financially gained, the loss is scandalous. See the report in the Huffington Post, Jan. 3, 2014 entitled, « How the Harper Government Committed a Knowledge Massacre » which states:

But sources told the independent Tyee in December that a fraction of the 600,000-volume collection had been digitized. And, a secret federal document notes that a paltry $443,000 a year will be saved. »

There is more encouraging news. Share with colleagues and politicians. The CBC Fifth Estate is airing a special about this situation on January 10, 2014 entitled, « Silence of the Labs »
