Area Politicians React to Ignace Closure 2

Kenora MP Roger Valley and Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton say
the closure of the Ignace Sawmill can be blamed on the softwood lumber deal.
Valley says everyone here saw this coming.

n031 runs: 19 sec. out…families pay.

Hampton says the Province should have never signed the agreement.

n033 runs: 15 sec. out…taking downtime.

Hampton and Valley are also upset with Bowater’s decision to close the
mill right before Christmas.
