Catalyst May Emerge in Near-Term


About 300 jobs at the Catalyst Paper mill in Port Alberni are safe after the company's second attempt at restructuring was accepted by an overwhelming number of creditors, Monday.
The amended plan, which added pensioners to the creditor group, was voted in by 99% of both secure and unsecure creditors.
Catalyst should be able to emerge from creditor protection "in the near term" according to CEO Kevin Clarke.
