Industry Minister Leonard Evans announced that Consolidated-Bathurst Paper Ltd. will become Canada’s sales agent for kraft paper from the Churchill Forest Industries mill in The Pas. The move aims to stabilize markets and offset a 10 percent U S import duty while the project, backed by $92 million from the province, has operated under receivership since January. The plant has 732 employees, and Evans defended the receiver’s management amid bankruptcy petitions.
