Wood First Bill Gets Through Second Reading

A private members bill to encourage the use of wood in multi-story construction in Ontario is getting all-party support.

Thunder Bay-Atikokan M.P.P. Bill Mauro introduced the bill earlier this month and yesterday in went through second reading at Queen's Park.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Sarah Campbell says she'll support the legislation but says she still has some concerns.

She says feels the bill should say Ontario wood products will be given a preference in construction
projects. 
Mauro's bill was one of two that were debated yesterday, that encouraged the use of wood.
