The coverage in the scrapbook is limited to whatever the Queen’s Park press gallery decided was newsworthy at the time. Depending
upon the subject there may be nothing noted. And there’s not a lot of subject access either. They can narrow down the search a fair bit by
using the Journals to pin-point the day(s) on which activity on the bill or topic occurred and then check for the same or subsequent dates
to see if anything appeared. Richard Sage, Legislative Library & Research Service, Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
