At issue is
a 2011 Report on sexual exploitation titled: "It's Nobody's Mandate and
Everyone's Responsibility: Sexual Exploitation and the Sex Trade in
Newfoundland and Labrador”. Johnson and
Janes wanted it neither released nor discussed, stating it was too harmful.
They were
not prepared to disclose even as much information as contained in a CD freely
distributed throughout the school system.
Their reasons may have been poor articulation or a more paternalistic notion,
one implied but not announced” “we know what’s good for you”. Either way, their stonewalling was baffling.
