Questions from Company Doing Moose Documentary

Q.           We're going to be editing our story soon and I wanted to check if there have been any new developments in the moose class action suit since you were interviewed?  Has it moved forward?  Any action from the courts?  Did the elections make any difference?  What is the status of fencing?  Is it possible to get a copy of the lawsuit so I can see exactly what the plaintiffs are asking?  Thanks again for your help.

A.        The Statement of Claim and Defence are available on our website, as is a lot of other information.  Moose fencing and warning systems are being erected at certain locations around the island.  The opposition adopted a policy in favor of a moose cull and fencing and also that the lawsuit should be settled.  While the suit has not been settled, I am satisfied that there is a substantial section of public opinion which sees this as a legitimate issue and it will be easier for the government to settle the suit when the time comes.  We await production of a number of bankers boxes of records and this should arrive soon.  If there are no undue delays then trial of the common issues in the class action may be a year to a year and a half away.  This article in MacLean's may be of interest.
