Tolko and union representatives confirm an international company has put forward a letter of intent to buy the mill. McKie, Tolko representatives and the unnamed company met in Winnipeg on Monday to discuss conditions for the sale. Tolko workers hope a deal could keep the mill in The Pas running. The new company is also interested in a tax incentive offered to Tolko by the mayor of The Pas, McKie said. Scott said while the tax incentive he had offered to Tolko is not transferrable, he hopes something can be worked out with the prospective buyer.
