Pacific West Commercial Corporation is
responding to an inquiry by the U.S. Trade Representative, to determine whether
the investments into the Port Hawkesbury Paper Mill in Nova Scotia may be in
contravention of the World Trade Organization's rules.
"The claims we are hearing, specifically
from members of congress from Maine, regarding our investment into Port
Hawkesbury Paper are completely false. Pacific West received sound
legal advice from specialized trade counsel on this transaction, and our
investment is fully consistent with international trade rules" said Shawn
Lewis, VP and General Counsel of Pacific West Commercial Corporation.
