Labor Adjustment Centres Close

The provincial government is defending the closure of some labor adjustment centers in northern Ontario.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Howard Hampton took the government to task this week for shutting down job centers in the region.

He says it shows the McGuinty Government still doesn't understand the impact of mill closures on communities in the north.

Minister of Colleges, Universities and Training John Milloy told the legislature that the labor centers are reviewed periodically, and whenthey are no longer needed, they are wound down.
