place in the southern press Most of the big noise seems to be coming from outside so far from people who are against it because they come up here to the bush for two weeks out of the year and they want to make sure there is still some bush to cometo People seems to think that there are going to be thousands of workers fanning out from the mill leaving virtually swath of desert behind them as they go from one end to the other But thats ridiculous and people up here know it bring to the north Small communities in the north want economic develop ment he said and economic development there would benefit the rest of the province He said the province is con cerned about native peoples rights but also believes the Reed project would provide them with an opportunity for economic advancement
