Area MP Michael Mantha has written the Premier asking for her to intervene in an effort to get the government to assist the hard hit community of Hornepayne with the closure of the Haavaldsrud timber mill and and the nearby bio-mass co-gen facility.  A month ago layoff notices were handed out to all its employees and Mantha says he had asked for immediate action when 40% of the workforce received layoff notice.  Mantha says the future of the town depends on the cooperation of not only the Ministry of Energy, but also other Ministries including Northern Development and Mines and Natural Resources.
