Sioux Lookout Mayor Reacts to Mill Bankruptcy

The Mayor of Sioux Lookout Mayor is lashing out at the Province for not allocating wood rights for the Hudson Mill.
McKenzie Forest Products has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Dennis Leney says the Government has turned its back on his community.
Leney says the move in effect closes the mill, resulting in the loss of over 300 jobs.
Leney notes they are in early talks with Lac Seul First Nation about the future of the Mill and the associated wood rights.
He adds Dryden may also be impacted, as he has heard that the wood lot that Domtar was expected to get, may now be frozen.
