During question period Algoma-Manitoulin MPP, Michael Mantha, called on the Conservative government to ensure operators in the forestry sector are made whole for fiber cut before the Espanola Domtar Mill idles its operations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cStopping operations at the mill will be disruptive enough as it is without adding the extra burden of watching harvested fiber rot at roadside and worrying about hundreds of potential job losses.\u201d said Mantha.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Paper Excellence, who own the Domtar Mill, previously announced that operations at the papermill would be idled indefinitely as soon as early November.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cForestry is a vital industry in the Algoma area, and the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry needs to show leadership during this difficult time\u201d Mantha said. \u201cWe need to know who will pick up the bill for this unused fiber and how these forestry companies will be compensated for work already done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
