Few details were available at press time but representatives from a German company recently toured the AbitibiBowater paper mill in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland & Labrador.
Controversy has erupted about who knew and who did not know about the visit.
Industry, Trade and Rural Development Minister Shawn Skinner told the Advertiser that the community development committee established after the mill had closed, was not informed because ”’we really didn't know if this was a genuine legitimate expression of interest.’”
The minister said, ’”My concern is that I didn't want to get people's hopes up.’”
