I certainly don't have any real evidence as to which approach would be better (it is an excellent research question, but no one has really studied the federal pre-budget consultation process in a great amount of detail).  I do think, given the summer, it may be easier to go the second route - have a few key asks and invite individuals and organizations to sign on.  I think coordinating through each organization at this point is probably too complicated.

In that regard, are there any logical starting points.  I believe CARL has asked for $30 million total, $10 each for policy & infrastructure, Indigenous OER and francophone OER.  Is this a potential starting point? Are there any other ideas?  We can use the Framework document to anchor all of our asks as it has much of the justification written up.

This is a great idea Michael and I really appreciate you being alert to (and sharing) this opportunity. Do you have a sense of which of the two approaches that you propose would carry more weight?

Cheers,

Brock University is located on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. The territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Today these lands are the home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and acknowledging them reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.

Subject: [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=12835898

 

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), 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
