Blame Pointed At Feds For Closure Decision

Fingers are being pointed at the federal government for some of the reasons behind Resolute's closure decision.

In Ottawa, Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says the government's commitment to the forest industry has been less than adequate.

 Rafferty says since the Conservatives took office more than 30,000 forestry jobs have been lost in northern Ontario alone.

Infrastructure and Communities Minister Denis Lebel says any difficulties within the industry remain  market related.
