Resolute Not Signing Boreal Forest Agreement

Resolute Forest Products is refusing to sign the new Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement effectively killing the proposal. Spokesperson Seth Kursman says the agreement, signed by 19 other forest companies, is a bad deal.
Kursman says it would have had a detrimental affect on communities and First Nations throughout the north.
He says the agreement would have cancelled the re-start of the Ignace and Atikokan mills.
Seven environmental organizations in the the country have also signed the deal.
