When listening to the radio, watching television or reading the newspapers about events in this province, there seems to be a missing link. One that bridges all that information together and provides a way for people to contribute, express or lobby their concerns in their own time. After-all, this is our home and everyone cannot fit in Lukie's boat and paddle their way to Upper Canada, nor should we!
You can get it online - yes - let's support our P & P industry - some things you just need a hard copy of. Easier on the eyes and back -
Yes I support the environment - we must however have certain things on paper for the record whether we print it from the printer at home or government sends out a copy.
In my opinion we need a copy of this in hard-form.
Just like a bank statement - your mortgage and loan documents and so on...
I suppose we could put all texts online and that way students would not have to buy the books...
Umm... Isn't our P&P industry in the business of making news print, not high gloss colour documents? For the record you can to a 'save as' command and then burn it to a cd for later retrieval.
How would one know whether it's a "high gloss document" and 500 pages long if they already hadn't obtained a copy for themselves or more likely given to their government department.
Maybe we should burn the public libraries after we burn their books to CD's!
And maybe these smart asses might want to recycle their newspaper as well when they go to the "john"!

Why not just get it on line?
That's environmentally friendly since you don't kill trees to make up 500 pages of coloured printed paper that can't be recycled.

Well, yes the local industry produces newsprint.
Beyond that, the whole way to be environmentally responsible is to reduce as much consumption as we can and recycle what we can.
A mortgage and bank statement is one typoe of thing. This report which is like 500 pages long is a huge thing to print.
What a huge waste of money to get it printed off and then mailed out when you can get in on line.
If you are worried about government costs, just tell people to get it online, and print the parts they want or need. Sheesh.

Williams should take note of something that Harry Truman once said "if you can't stand the heat, you should get out of the kitchen".
Notwithstanding the tragically low level of adult literacy in this province.
You are jumping to the conclusion that the fine paper on which the AG report is published is made in a NL paper mill. I suspect that it is not.
If it is offshore paper, you are contributing to the profit margins of papermakers who are in competition with NL papermakers.
Thus strikes the Law of Unintended Consequences.
