Question Period Notes
About this information
In accordance with the Access to Information Act, the government proactively publishes the package of question period notes that were prepared by a government institution for the minister and that were in use on the last sitting day in June and December.
The question period notes may be partially or fully redacted in accordance with the legislation; for example, if the notes contain information related to national security or personal information. (Learn more about exemptions and exclusions.)
If you find a question period note of interest, you may make an access to information request in order to obtain it.

In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, the Government announced, on March 25, 2020, a simplified process for processing the files submitted through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) and the Canada Book Fund to accelerate the attribution of funds awarded to each recipient by both Funds.
The modernization of the CPF will be implemented April 1, 2021, to allow for an orderly transition. In the meantime, the CPF will continue to apply the existing criteria on a status-quo basis in 2020-2021.
