The prospective buyer of a shuttered paper mill in Cape
Breton is eager to get the deal wrapped up by Aug. 31 to avoid missing a
lucrative season for paper orders, the court-appointed monitor handling the
sale said Thursday.
Mathew Harris of Ernst & Young said Vancouver-based
Pacific West Commercial Corp. could get the NewPage Port Hawkesbury mill back
in operation immediately if all goes as planned.
"Pacific West really needs to get this going by the
first of September because it's the key season for placing orders for
(supercalendered) paper," Harris said in an interview.
