I'm a Nova Scotia member of Parliament. I represent Kings—Hants. I have my colleague here from Sydney—Victoria. Ms. May obviously has connections to Nova Scotia as well.
I'll preface the conversation, because I can appreciate that the mill has been very important for the forestry sector. I know that Ms. May's conversation will be along the lines of Boat Harbour and some of the impact on the indigenous community in Pictou Landing.
I have certain sawmills that have certainly benefited from the presence of that mill, so I understand that. What would you say to the people of Nova Scotia about there being a current lawsuit for $450 million to the taxpayers? That's certainly me and my colleague. That's all the million Nova Scotians. Do you think that's fair and equitable?
I want to ask this question of Mr. Williams. You're the chair of the board. As the board helps govern the responsibility of Paper Excellence, where do you draw the line in terms of an equitable nature, notwithstanding that the contract that might have been divulged with the Province of Nova Scotia was demonstrably a bad one years ago?
