Having time to absorb and reflect on the Information session put on by the Nunatsiavut Government on Wednesday night I now put down my thoughts on said session.

First the pros:
Well the fact it was held at all.
Contained in the typed briefing notes presented by each department is some informative information that most would not be cognizant of.
At the table near the entrance were some tasty looking fruit platters and nice looking finger food type cakes.
The latest Nunatsiavut Annual Report was available for everybody. The fact that it is the 2007-08 report should not detract from the fact that it was done ‘in house’, is rather well done in color and on a nice semi gloss paper. Lots of nice color and black and white photos too. It is great that NG has distanced themselves from those self serving gits in St.John’s that used to do all the PR stuff for them.
In the public question period there were a couple of direct answers to specific questions.
The president was wearing a seal skin vest.
Meeting started almost on time with just a short 10 minute 'fresh air break' part way through.
Translation was supplied, as one would expect.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, maybe I should reflect some more as that does not seem like a lot of pros.

Pro update. There is a household disagreement on the point of attendance. Fran says it was well attended, I disagree.
So to compromise I agreed that it was well attended in modern era terms.

To explain: There were about 13 attendees that were from the public sector. It was a public information session so I do not count the attendees who were NG staff [who by the way were in greater numbers than I have ever seen at previous modern era public meetings] and were about equal in numbers to the public attendees.
I also do not include the ministers, deputy ministers, the first minister and president.

There were also 3 from the media, since they asked questions in the question period I should include them in the public sector.
