Bill C-15 is moving quickly through the Senate, and the proposed repeal of the Library Book Rate puts equitable access to library materials at serious risk. We need your voice right now.
The Standing Senate Committees are currently studying Bill C-15 and we need to voice our concerns. Individual letters from Manitobans do make a difference. To make this as simple as possible, we’ve prepared:
- Submission of MLA Letters Regarding Bill C-15 , December 10, 2025

Please take a few minutes today to send your message. The loss of the Library Book Rate would have immediate and disproportionate impacts on rural, northern, and small Manitoba libraries, and on blind, low-vision, and print-disabled readers across the province.
Your advocacy matters. Thank you for lending your voice at this critical moment.
