Nothing is definitive, but according to a recent Montreal Gazette report, Quebec’s Minister of Natural Resources has ordered a market study to determine the feasibility of reopening Domtar’s Lebel-sur-Quevillon mill.

The Gazette confirmed that Pierre Corbeil has allotted accountants a total of 30 days to assemble a report on production costs and market conditions.

The Lebel-sur-Quevillon mill closed its doors last November, effectively eliminating 425 jobs.

The report further indicated Corbeil as affirming the study is separate from the negotiations on a collective agreement that are before the courts.
