AbitibiBowater cannot blame their $6.3 billion debt on current market downturns alone, a statement from STRONG said. A good portion belongs to bad business decisions, insufficient reinvestment and failing to add value to the resources that has left the company in poor financial standings.
If the McGuinty government truly believes the natural resources belong to the people, the time to stand up for the sustainability,local citizens, workers and their families is now, STRONG states.
