Wood Bill Passes Second Reading



Second reading has passed on a northwestern Ontario MPP's call for wood to be used as a primary construction material in the building of provincially funded buildings.

Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says it's a step towards helping a beleaguered forestry industry.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell supports the bill in principle, but would like to see it go farther by ensuring Ontario wood is used in that construction.
