Shhh... don't tell anyone

Openness and Accountability continues to reign, Dannystan-style.

The following are the subjects of the Dannystan Information Service press releases of July 28th:

• Province Continues to See Reduced Wait Times in Priority Areas
• Grenfell Historic Society Provided Over $27,000
• Media Advisory: Venue Change for Ministers to Announce Enhancements to Northern Strategic Plan for Labrador
• Ministers Announce $632,274 in Funding for Programs and Projects under the Northern Strategic Plan for Labrador

The following is not:

Commission of Inquiry on Hormone Receptor

Testing Order (Amendment)

under the

Public Inquiries Act, 2006

(O.C. 2008-195)

(Why the copy-protection on the .pdf document, Earl?)

This lack of public attention-drawing is, of course, entirely with precedent. As the CBC reported on June 2oth:

The Newfoundland and Labrador government announced late Friday afternoon it will give the head of the Cameron Inquiry the extension and the resources she has requested, even after the premier and province's justice minister criticized the inquiry for the amount of money being spent on legal fees.

That "announcement", as in the actual legal mechanics of the extension, was made without the benefit of any pesky written record.
