To say that biomass has nothing to do with what we’re talking about in Terrace Bay is to fundamentally misunderstand how the forest industry works. But be that as it may, I’m not surprised. I’m not surprised.

Listen, we’ve gone over this again. The moment this mill shut down, we were in contact with the mayor. We were in contact with multiple mayors. We held regional meetings. That member was at the meetings. That member knows exactly what we’ve been doing. The Leader of the Opposition had a phone call with her. She knows exactly what we’ve been doing. So for them to play this pantomime that they don’t know what’s going on—we’ve been fully transparent about the efforts we’ve been taking on behalf of those fine workers who have joined us today, on behalf of a community. We want to see this mill going again.

It’s a private sector company that signed a horrible deal with the previous government—big shocker there. But we want to get this mill going again, and we’re going to continue to work for the people in Terrace Bay every single day.
