Citing increasingly high power costs, Irving Paper has threatened to move its paper mill facility out of Saint John, New Brunswick, to Quebec, where power costs are lower. This follows the three-percent-rate increase announced by NB Power Corporation. In January, parent company J. D. Irving Ltd., Flakeboard Co.
