The investigation found that the people behind or associated with Paper Excellence appear to have a pattern of using thickets of corporations, including in tax havens, effectively shielding transactions and assets from public and government scrutiny. Paper Excellence maintains it is completely independent from APP and is owned solely by Jackson Wijaya. He said it shouldn't take investigative journalism for Canadians to know how Paper Excellence operates. Simard said he would like Paper Excellence to reveal its business plan and spell out its plans to invest in Resolute's mills in Quebec. Green Party Co-Leader Elizabeth May said she has long had concerns about Paper Excellence as she watched it grow in Canada over the years.
