An unfortunate blip? Or a cause for concern? The mayor of Corner Brook and the president of the Greater Corner Brook Board of Trade spoke with us about the one-week shutdown at the paper mill

It was not welcome news yesterday morning. The company that owns the Corner Brook paper mill sent out a news release to announce publicly that a shutdown is coming. It\u2019s a one-week temporary shutdown. But the release from Kruger says there could be more shutdowns to come. The reason given? "The difficult business environment in the newsprint sector." Jim Parsons is mayor of Corner Brook (interview starts at 0:32) and Ray Brake is the president of the Greater Corner Brook Board of Trade (starts at 9:22). Kruger declined our request for an interview.
