The provincial government is being urged to form a crown corporation toopen pulp and paper mills that have been shut down in northern Ontarioand operate them.
The suggestions comes from the union representing hospital workersin Ontario.
Michael Hurley is president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unionsand says its a practical solution to a very bleak situation in this region.
Hurley says the Ontario government could not only own and operate the mills, but encourage Ontario residents to purchase Ontario paper products.
