Maple Leaf Foods Buying Schneider

Back in 2003 Maple Leaf Foods bought Schneider meat company which led  Schneider meat company to close down their  plants and  1200 jobs were lost. Maple Leaf Foods corporation major goal was to eliminate 1,200 jobs in Kitchener and the distribution centres were to close their doors in 2013. Maple Leafs plan was to modernize and concentrate production at its meat processing facilities over the next three years of their company. Schneider President Dennis Lesperance issued  a statement saying they had remained hopeful Maple Leaf would continue their local operations by opening their companies up in different provinces. In many cases total of six plants of Schneider meat company were to closed down across the country, they also had to shut down and one distribution centre in Burlington which was closed down.

Do you find it that it was ok for Maple Leaf Foods to shut down Schneider meat company and make them lose 1,200 jobs in Canada?
