RE: A CANADIAN PRECEDENT (Canadian Chiropractor, July/August 2009 issue, pp. 8-9) This article stated that the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP), an impor- tant component of Canada’s Economic Action Plan which was announced by the federal government in January of 2009, was a $200 million initiative. In fact, KIP represents a federal government commitment of up to $2 bil- lion in support of infrastructure enhancements to Canadian universities and colleges. Canadian Chiropractor thanks the Government of Canada for bringing the correct value to our attention. www.canadianchiropractor.ca SUBSCRIBE TODAY ! $2400 8 ISSUES only (GST $25.20; QST/HST $27.12) • US $35.00 (USD) • Foreign $50.00 (USD) Name: ___________________________ Clinic Name: ______________________ Address: _________________________ City: ____________________________ Prov: ____________________________ P.Code:___________________________ Tel: _____________________________ Fax: _____________________________ e-mail: ___________________________ PLEASE CHECK ONE: Doctor of Chiropractic Other Practitioner Graduate Student Chiropractic Assistants Other ______________________ Please Specify TYPE OF PRACTICE Solo Group Chiropractic Integrated Disciplines Other ______________________ Please Specify Not in Practice - Student ARE YOU?
