It’s been more than two weeks since the public comment period on the Peel land use plan closed but the Yukon government still hasn’t posted any results on its website.
Nor has it yet put any of the submissions it received online as it had promised to do.
Infact its Peel spokesperson says the government has “no idea” when it will be able to share the public’s feedback with the public.
People were invited to submit written comments or simply fill out the government questionnaire. They could do so electronically or by fax, by mail or in person at one of the open houses/public meetings.
During consultations officials told the public all the submissions would be posted shortly after the comment period closed.
Today its website says only that the comments will be posted, but it doesn’t say when.
“All feedback received during the consultation will posted on this website and is currently being processed for uploading and publication,” it says. “Please check this website regularly for up-to-date information.”
However, it has sent all the submissions to a “third party contractor” to prepare a “What We Heard” report.
The government had planned to continue consultations with the four First Nations with a stake in the Peel through March.
It’s not saying much about that right now, but it’s going to have to come up with a few answers when the legislature resumes sitting on March 21.
