Our policy priorities evolve with the needs of readers, learners, creators, and educators. As publishing, education, technology, and law change, we update our focus based on evidence and member input. Current areas of focus include:
Freedom to read and publish in Canada
Freedom of expression and freedom to publish are protected in Canada under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Together they sustain an informed public: students, educators, researchers, and readers who can explore ideas, test arguments, and make up their own minds.
Copyright that works
A clear, enforceable framework that rewards creation, supports investment, and ensures lawful access for learners and researchers.
Responsible AI
Transparent, lawful use of published works, with consent, attribution, and fair remuneration for creators and publishers.
Fair and equitable access to high-quality learning materials
Support for sustainable models that keep classrooms and campuses supplied with trusted, high-value resources in every format.
