The premier has weighed in on Minister of Environment Gordon Wilson’s Tuesday decision to require an additional environmental assessment from Northern Pulp on their effluent pipe.
Stephen McNeil released a statement Wednesday; he says the government must now decide to extend or uphold a Jan. 31 deadline to stop dumping of effluent into Boat Harbour.
He has scheduled an announcement for Friday.
Northern Pulp released a statement Tuesday where they reiterated previous comments that the pulp mill would close if not given an extension.
