Nova Scotia Environment Minister Gordon Wilson answers questions at a news conference in Halifax, in a June 27, 2019, file photo.Nova Scotia’s environment minister concedes the province is living up to the spirit of the law but not the letter in allowing the Northern Pulp mill to continue to dump effluent past a legislated deadline Friday.
Premier Stephen McNeil had previously maintained the Boat Harbour Act, which set the deadline, would not be breached because no new effluent would be flowing into the treatment lagoons near the Pictou Landing First Nation.Wilson says a ministerial order he issued Wednesday sets the terms for an orderly shutdown of the Pictou County mill that will be monitored by department officials.
