NS Parties Want Bowater Mersey Environmental Assessment

Provincial opposition parties want a thorough environmental assessment of the former Bowater Mersey Paper Co. Ltd. paper mill site performed in the new year.
The assessment would include soil and groundwater testing for toxic chemicals.
"Until the environmental liability costs are known, the total price the NDP paid for Bowater remains unknown," Progressive Conservative Leader Jaimie Baillie said Saturday as he issued a call for the testing.
