Subject: Draft -- Intellectual Freedom policy

Although we have a lengthy procedural document among our policies which
outlines what can and can't be censored, we do not have a clear policy
statements in this area. I am especially concerned that we do not have a
stronger anti-censorship statement on record.

Intellectual Freedom 
====================
 
All persons in Canada have the fundamental right, as embodied in
the nation's Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights
and Freedom, to have access to all expressions of knowledge,
creativity and intellectual activity, and to express their
thoughts publicly. No user shall be restricted or denied access
for expressing or receiving constitutionally protected speech.

This is basically from the Canadian Library Association's Statement on
Intellectual Freedom. It is available on our gopher under Library Associations
under Electronic Frontier Canada. Or for you URL types it is at
