Senate Publications Discontinued

By Annette Demers

SUBJECT: Distribution of Hard Copies of Senate
Publications – Phase II

On May 26, 2010, following a proposal adopted by the Standing
Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration, the
distribution of hard copies of the Senate Order Paper, Journals
and Debates was eliminated within the Parliamentary Precinct.

This venture reinforced environmental stewardship by reducing paper
printing and followed up on the Senate Administration’s strategic
review of expenditures.

On December 9, 2010, the Internal Economy Committee adopted
Phase II of the paper reduction exercise which will further assist
in this venture.

Effective immediately, the printing and distribution of all
Senate committee issues will be eliminated. Printer ready
versions of committee issues continue to be available on-line
at the Parliamentary website (www.parl.gc.ca) in the same
quality format.

Thank you for your understanding.
