Hampton Pensions Abitibi

Demands for pension assistance for Ontario's Abitibi-Bowater workers in the Legislature yesterday.

Kenora-Rainy River M-P-P Howard Hampton says support recently given to Nortel's pension plan should be offered to AbitibiBowater's underfunding pension plan.

Education Minister Leona Dombrowsky says the money given to Nortel was from a pension benefits guarantee fund that guarantees each worker one-thousand dollars per month.
