Transcript to Port Hawkesbury Paper conference call:
Challenge of securing fiber:
As obstacles standing in the way of restarting the former NewPage
Port Hawkesbury paper mill in Cape Breton are knocked down, one remains
quietly under the radar.
Creditors of the NewPage mill voted overwhelmingly in support Wednesday of
selling the Point Tupper facility to Pacific West Commercial
Corp.
The positive vote leaves just two high-profile conditions that must be met
before reopening the paper mill — an advanced tax ruling and a discounted power
rate.
But a critical fibre agreement between the province and Pacific West, an
affiliate of Stern Partners Inc. of Vancouver, remains
unresolved.
