Proposed public expression and anti-law suit legislation is putting a scare into forest industry stakeholders.
The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association is concerned Bill 83 would allow environmental groups to slander the industry without consequences limiting lawsuits over public expression.
NOMA President Dave Canfield says the legislation targets northern families by jeopardizing their economies.
Canfield made the statement at an open house on the future of the boreal forest Tuesday in Thunder Bay.
