I'm not actually sure how the funding works for the libraries in Newfoundland. I speak to that because, to me, it is a symptom of a larger fear that we in the sector have of the social economy not being supported and grown as it could be. So when you have no access as a people, especially in the rural areas, to Internet or to reading materials or learning materials, that has a huge impact with our population, and because the library budgets are so small, any cut, even if it's a small one, is significant.
