'As long as a company has the right to move its plant from one country to another, there will be no guarantees of jobs, even if employees work for nothing" he said. Pickering councillor Jerry Fisher did not agree, saying in his opinion union con- cessions at this time would help the auto industry.

Build a cheaper car and people will buy them," he said. Mr. Nimigon agreed that the cost differential between domestic and import cars was a factor. "And I really cannot blame some people these days for trying to buy the cheapest car available," he said. The letter calling on the federal government to bring in changes in the number of imports and the increased Canadian content of imports sold here, has been sent to-- federal industry minister Herb Gray, and interna- tional trade minister Ed Lumley.
