Northern Pulp critics urge N.S. government to be wary of Paper Excellence
The mayor of Pictou, and environmentalists, have urged the provincial government and municipal leaders on the South Shore to be wary in their dealings with Northern Pulp's parent company, Paper Excellence.
On Thursday, the Houston government and Paper Excellence announced they had reached a deal that would end a $450-million lawsuit against the province. That deal included confirmation that Paper Excellence would not restart its Pictou County mill and a promise to undertake a feasibility study of a new pulp mill in Liverpool.
