"If you have bulk screwdrivers and packaged screwdrivers, the consumer will always take the packaged one. It's the perception of value,» he said. «Unless it's î'e6slated from the nothinwibe done.» itchellwld The Free Press his motion was prompted, by a recent letter from theFederation of Canadian Municipalities. The federation is calling on member municipalities to sup- port its demand for retention of the NPP. "They attached a resolution asking to keep funding this body, but I didn't want to support it because there could be a good reason not to,» explained Mit- chell. «I don't care what device is used as long as we keep meeting the targets, he added.
