Under NAFTA rules, NL may have to pay compensation to Abitibi if legislation is introduced to reverse timber and Hydro rights. I believe to NAFTA trade deal has a provision whereby if a government introduces legistalion which adversely affects there buisines then the company can sue(and in American courts) for compensation for loss of revenue/business. That is why DW(a lawyer) is dragging his feet on reclaiming water and timber rights. Could cost us a fortune in the future if he goes ahead with it.
