Important Notice
New Funding Levels for Paid Circulation Periodicals and Unpaid Request Circulation Magazines Effective November 1, 2005
Dear PAP recipient:
The Department of Canadian Heritage funding for the Publications Assistance Program (PAP) will remain at $49.4M for 2005-06. This delays the $4M budget reduction that was announced in 2003 and that was to take effect this year. This delay will allow publishers more time to adjust their business plans in anticipation of the forthcoming reduction. In 2006-07 the budget will be $45.4M.
As was announced in July 2005, Publications Mail rates are to increase effective January 2006. In order to accommodate rate increases and the demand on the program, the PAP will be implementing new funding levels on November 1, 2005 (see attached funding level charts).
Funding is calculated as a percentage of the Canada Post Corporation Publications Mail rates for eligible mailing costs, based on the total volume of periodicals mailed. The two attached charts illustrate the funding levels for paid circulation periodicals and unpaid request circulation magazines. These charts reflect contributions to the PAP from both the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canada Post Corporation.
If you have any concerns about how the new funding levels will be applied to your publication as of November 1, 2005, please contact us before October 7, 2005, by e-mail at pap@pch.gc.ca or write to us at:
