Forestry Minister Michael Gravelle says he understands Atikokan Renewable Fuel's disappointment.
The company says it was forced to lay off staff because it hasn't received a wood allocation from the province.
Gravelle says announcements are coming soon.
"I know they're very, very keen to get the results of our wood supply competition," says Gravelle. "I'm very conscience of the urgency for Mr. Fukushima and to know where things are at. I'm doing what I can to get that resolved as quickly as possible."
Gravelle says he did meet with forestry officials in Toronto to discuss future wood allocations.
