The union representing workers says layoff notices were issued to 103 employees last week, including two at the Fort Frances office.
In a open letter, David Oriazetti says the MNR is in the midst of implementing a three-year transformation plan, designed to modernize the way the ministry does business and reduce costs.
Oriazetti says once the reorganization is complete next spring, the MNR will have approximately the same number of field operations staff and science and research staff as we do now.
