[Canadaoer] Federal Pre-Budget Consultation (2025) - Briefs Due Aug 2

Hi Everyone, The House of Commons Finance Committee (FINA) has announced its regular pre-budget consultation (for 2025). Link: https://www.ourcommons.ca/committees/en/FINA/StudyActivity?studyActivityId=… In that regard, perhaps there could be some sort of coordinated approach - either we could aim to have groups and individuals agree on a common ask (perhaps based on the advocacy work to date/the National Framework <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/A-National-Advocacy-Framework-for-Open-Educational-Resources-in-Canada.pdf>), or alternatively we could develop a document that would allow anyone to sign on and then try to get as many signatories as possible. I recognize coordinating over July is a bit of a mess (especially with the brief due right before a long weekend). Michael
