In my mind, the folks I have heard from Domtar have basically made a committment that if they received the subsidy from the federal government, they would not need any the extension for their air emissions improvements. Hope they carry through. From the Kamloops News story:
"But a spokeswoman said Wednesday if the company board directs some of the $143 million in black liquor credits it received from Ottawa to its Kamloops pulp mill the work to reduce emissions by 70 per cent will be done years earlier."
Meanwhile a group led by Bronwen Scott and Ruth Madsen intend to appeal the granting of the air emissions permit, based at least part on an argument that Domtar's data is not reliable.
