Forestry Fund

Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle is disputing suggestions the province is not helping the forest sector as well as it should.

Yesterday, New Democrats revealed much of a fund set up to help the forestry sector remains unused.

But Gravelle says its one program of many Ontario has provided to the industry.

Gravelle says a recent competition for the province's wood supply is also to make the industry more sustainable in the long term.
