Subject: Stockwatch: Repap Enterprises Inc - In the News Date: Tue, 06 Jan 1998 06:32:25 -0800 From: newsout@canada-stockwatch.com To: edpak@georgian.net Van Sun says Skeena truck loggers set to vote Repap Enterprises Inc RPP Shares issued 742,460,637 Jan 5 close $0.19 Tue 6 Jan 98 In the News The Vancouver Sun reports in its Tuesday edition that BC premier Glen Clark's special commissioner on Skeena Cellulose has completed his four-day fact-finding tour of west central BC towns on Monday, saying he has no cash to offer logging contractors who are to vote on Tuesday on the final Skeena restructuring package. Reporters Gordon Hamilton and Justine Hunter note that Ralph Torney, past president of the Truck Loggers Association, says that more money is probably not an option. Mr Torney, however, says he wants to see the contractors, who employ more than 1000 people supplying logs for Skeena, given solid assurances they will be paid regularly in the future, so they do not wind up being owed so much again. Skeena stopped paying its logging contractors in 1996, but under legislation governing forest practices, the loggers were required to keep working. When the company sought creditor protection on March 3 1997, they became unsecured creditors. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
