Jackson Wijaya, “founder and owner” of Paper Excellence, now Canada’s largest pulp and paper player and also the owner of the Northern Pulp mill in Nova Scotia, has once again snubbed the federal Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources. For the second time, Wijaya has declined an invitation to appear before the committee to answer questions about the opaque ownership and complex corporate structure of Paper Excellence. At the start of the October 4 meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources, NDP natural resources critic and MP for Timmins-James Bay, Charlie Angus, asked the new chair, Liberal MP George Chahal, for “some clarification” on the committee’s efforts to have Wijaya appear before them. …The committee clerk said, “I have followed up with Paper Excellence as of last week, and was informed in writing on September 27 that they have declined the invitation for Mr. Wijaya to appear.”
