So the Government and the MMSB are showing that EPRA the Electronics Products Recycling Association were listed under the Province's Lobbyist Registry in March of 2013 - and by April of 2013 - they had a deal.
So in the Department of Environment's News Release in April of this year - one quote:
“We have been working with electronics manufacturers to help them take a
leadership role in handling the treatment of their products after their
useful life,” said Mike Samson, Chief Executive Officer of the MMSB. “By
having manufacturers take responsibility for their products – from
development to disposal – they will increasingly think of ways to redesign
their products to be more environmentally friendly, more cost efficient and
easier to recycle.”
The approved plan was submitted by Electronic Products Recycling Association
(EPRA), an electronics industry organization that currently is operational
in six provinces across Canada.
When was the Plan submitted? Where's the approved Plan? Did anybody else submit a plan? Was anybody else asked? What did the Plan call for? How much would it cost consumers? Who monitors the fee? How many drop-off locations were promised and where? How would EPRA choose the drop-off locations and the consolidation location? How would they work to see some recycling done in this province?
We need some answers now.
We have 60 year old Newfoundland and Labrador companies that can't get a meeting with any Minister in government yet - this company in and out in a month with a deal.
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!
