Good afternoon:
Members may be interested in several open letters published today 
related to the cuts to LAC, the CCA and NADP.

The librarians chapter of York University Faculty Association (YUFA) has 
publicly posted two open letters to Minister James Moore regarding the 
cuts to Library Archives Canada staff and services and cuts to the 
Canadian Council of Archives, the National Archival Development Fund.

A collaborative project I am involved in, the Portuguese Canadian 
History Project (PCHP) has also written a letter of protest to Ministers 
James Moore and John Baird which also addresses cuts to the 
"Understanding Canada" program, run through Department of Foreign 
Affairs and Foreign Trade.  It is available here:
