Nova Scotia pulp mill’s effluent focus report lacks detail: federal departments
Stephen McNeil said that if he were to comment on the federal criticism
ahead of a provincial Environment Department decision on Northern
Pulp’s project, he would be accused of interfering in the process.

Pulp’s project, he would be accused of interfering in the process.
“It’s a very difficult position to be in, but it’s the one I’m in,” he
told reporters. McNeil also reiterated that there are no plans to change
the legislated Jan. 31 date for the closure of the mill’s current
treatment facility in Boat Harbour, N.S.
“There’s nothing before me that says it needs to go beyond that date,” he said.
