The forest allocation competition for eleven million cubic metres of fibre in Ontario has come to a close.
Forestry Minister Michael Gravelle says a number of companies have placed bids, some on the value-added side of the industry.
"A lot of the new entrants did not have access to a wood supply," says Gravelle, "so the goal is to try to find some way of evening the playing field."
Gravelle expects to announced recommendation within six months.
