- Note Sep 2/05: We got complete versions of Eastern's documents posted for public review. It took us 14 days, which is what the people who set it up intended to happen.
- Eastern refuses to do more than the bare minimum of letting one read them at the public library...so they say they "seek" public comment and input, but only if you can put up with the inconvenience and the prejudice to your interests of having such limited access to the documents.
- The deadline for comment is Sep 19, so by this method they effectively reduce 30 days of so-called "notice" to barely two weeks. (Simple: reduce public input time, speed up rubber stamp). As this is Ontario Government sanctioned and approved, know by this example how little your government wants the public involved in the process . . .
- It's this simple: with only two copies available to the public, both in public libraries, and neither open all the time, how many people can even read the several hundred pages in time to offer comments within the limited four week deadline? The natural consequence of such restricted access is to limit public access - and we are always entitled to presume the natural consequences of any decision are the INTENDED consequences. To try to redress the imbalance, we post the documents.
- You can write to Laurel Broten, the new minister of the environment, to tell her to ask Eastern to post their documents immediately on the internet as PDFs and to restart the deadline for public comment not to start until the documents are easily available to the public
