When Honda and Toyota came knocking on the door, Canada opened up to them as well, once they said they would also invest in the communities where they built their plants. However, on the day of the round table discussion, Shields told those, in attendance attendance that Toyota and Honda only have 15 jobs for every 1,000 vehicles produced. "There arc 53 (jobs per thousand vehicles produced) produced) at GM," Shields observed. "At a time of economic hardship, Honda and Toyota arc weak at providing good jobs." Shepherd says it was GM that started the whole scare which began with Toyota and Honda saying they wanted to be treated fairly. Currently, "Japan has no tariffs on auto parts or fully manufactured autos," Shepherd said. However, Canada has a 6.7 per cent tariff on the importation of fully manufactured manufactured vehicles coming into Canada from non- Aulo Pact countries. Japan is one of those countries. As Shepherd secs it, "The big three want their import-free automobile advantage kept as well as the import duly for Toyota and Honda retained." Shepherd suggests this isn't fair. Toyota and Honda have invested in their communities communities and employ workers, he said. "There arc plants in Alliston and Cambridge and they want to expand." How would this impact workers in Durham Region? In reply to that question, question, Shepherd noted the mayors of Durham's municipalities are concerned concerned about their residents, residents, and rightly so. Nevertheless, the MP wants people to know there are two sides to the issue, not just one. ■ F L U S H ■ w E A T H E R E A S T E Ft N E T T E ■ S Answers to February 7th Clarington Independent's Crossword Puzzle Streaker From page 1 bright pink and white wind suit jacket, a grey sweatshirt, a white Nike shirt, and black track pants."
