In a policy time line the Green Paper is the first step towards legislation. Its purpose is to create debate on policy without actually committing to any specific action. Stakeholders and the public will be invited to comment on the Green Paper. Each Green Paper will contain several alternative policies, which will be discussed before a final decision is made.

A White Paper is a more authorative report, and is seen as a statement of government policy. A White Paper may also consult public and stakeholders on policy, it does signify clear intention on the part of the Government to pass a law.
