Third Public Forum on Forest Sector

A public forum to address forestry job losses in Northern Ontario gave
people in Thunder Bay a turn to comment Monday night.
But there was little public participation in the event, hosted by the
Paperworkers and Steelworkers unions.
N-D-P M-P Charlie Angus told the forum the forestry crisis is the
direct result of inaction by elected officials.
Steelworkers officials stressed the future of local communities remains
in jeopardy, and says the province is failing to listen to proposals from
community leaders.
