Wood Allocations Confusing to MPP


Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton is questioning how the Liberals are allocating wood supplies in northern Ontario.

Hampton says recent decisions have left him dumbstruck.

"A reasonable person looking at northern Ontario as a whole would say there is no rhyme or reason to these decisions," says Hampton. "The McGuinty government may want to keep sawmills going in some Liberal ridings, but some of the decisions don't even make sense even in Liberal ridings."

Hampton is particularly upset with a government decision that took a wood supply away from a sawmill near Sioux Lookout.
