Some pages rotated in this copy. Includes bibliographical references. "This study examined the performance of a sample of Canadian periodicals over a 10 year period. The primary objective was to relate periodical performance to changes in concessionary postal rates, providing evidence on industry sensitivity to past rate changes and on the possible impacts of future rate increases. This study was one of several conducted as part of an evaluation of the Postal Subsidy Program by the Department of Communications. The Department of Communications contributes approximately $55 million to the Postal Subsidy Program, over $30 million of which is allocated to periodicals. An additional $170 million has been attributed to Canada Post infrastructure costs to support the program. Payments to Canada Post to cover these costs are currently scheduled to be eliminated over the next two years, forcing reviews of concessionary rate policy by Canada Post and the subsidy program by the Department of Communications. This evaluation is part of the process of finding a coordinated method to eliminate the concessionary tariffs without damaging an important Canadian industry"--Executive summary, page i.
