ForrLster Editor Economie Stability The announcemnent last wveek of a $1 billion in- vestment by General Motors of Canada in their car and truck facilities in Oshawa must been seen as ecQnomnic ,stability for the future for this imimediate area and as well other parts of the province and country. It is to place GM Oshawa in the forefront of technology in the car industry with increased production and improve- ment quality at comipetitive prices worldwide. The i nvestment displays confidence in this coun- try who through the federal government are providing a boan of $22 million. It, also shows the confidence GM hias in its labour force as to productivity, quality orieni- tation and stability. This cornes as a credit t o that labour force and one they should be justly proud of. GM hias been the catalyst in the-econornic affairs of this part of Ontario for a number of years and it now appears this is to continue and expand. The car induistry in Canada hias weathered the re- cent recession as h hlas on occasions in the past when the Canadiani sector of' the industry suffered less than their counterpart in the United States. The investmrent is to bring the lastest technology to this local industry putting it in a position to be a world leader. The announcemnent last week wîth aIl its informa- tion brings forth an interesting aspect in that capital in- vestment, although a requirement to remain competitive both as to productivity and quality, it is not assurance of increased employment. Ait hough the GM Oshawa plant is to be in the forefront of the industry throughout the world through the fact of the $1 billion capital investment and produc- tion is to increase along with qualîty quite significantly the employment factor is slight compared to the invest- ment. There are, of course, spinoffs to other industries such as steel but one would have to suspect the same wilI happen as is about to happen with GM. We have to agree with those that forecast con- tinued unemployment in this country and other coun- tries for as we see, capital investiment is not the total answer. Nor is retraining, for not everyone is retrainable Surely governmnent cannot be the total benefactor nor can small business. We are fortunate however to live in this part of the country as to the ecomoic stability which last wveek received another shoot in the arm.
