Midway through the meeting, a general consensus emerged around the meeting room table of the Bowmanvillc Lions Centre. Centre. It was felt that many attitudes attitudes held by labor leaders, company company managers and . even politicians, were out-dated, and no longer conducive to producing producing the cost-effective, high- quality goods that arc required to compete in an expanding world market. Several of the business leaders leaders drew on their own experience with Asian cultures to illustrate an alternative attitude and to make comparisons with the Canadian Canadian work ethic. President of Dennison Manufacturing Manufacturing of Canada Inc., Mr. P. V. Vizzini, spoke of a businessman businessman he knows in Taiwan, whose employees demonstrate drive. "Their vision is to succeed. I just don't see that here. There just doesn't seem to be that employee employee spark to compete," said Mr. Vizzini. Responding to the president of Dennison, Minister of State, McDermid conceded that many Asian nations have graduated from being "the world's greatest copiers," to its newest innovators.' innovators.' < (But, he added, "They are brutal brutal over there." To illustrate his point, he recited a Japanese company company motto posted in a manufacturing manufacturing plant. The motto reads, 'Half the time with half the staff.' It refers to a slashed workforce, operating on a slashed time schedule, and working within a slashed budget. "Can you imagine hanging a sign like that in any Canadian plant?" asked the Minister. He concluded that being competitive competitive means more than cutting or freezing wages. Anxious to dispel perceptions that Canadian industries will soon form a major exodus to United States to set up shop more inexpensively, Mr. McDermid McDermid said: "Labor may be cheap in the southern United States, but it is not dependable. There is a high turn-over there. Mexico has the same problem." Not to lay all the responsibility responsibility for competitiveness at the feet of labour groups, the Minister also targeted the attitudes of managers. "Business has to stand up on its own two hind feet," lie said. He warned it should not expect expect instant government bailouts bailouts because of a recession. The Minister went on to address address the more concrete concerns of the business representatives seated around the table. Nathan Casteel, Goodyear's plant manager, spoke next. He said the biggest problem affect ing his company's ability to compete is the instability of the Canadian dollar. Three years into free trade, his company is still paying high duties on the materials it has no choice but to import. . Mr. McDermid rcplicd:"Wc have accelerated a lot of the tariff tariff reductions by request," a lot- sooner than originally planned. "In fact, we've reduced S5.5 bil lion worth of duty so far." The Minister suggested that Goodyear Goodyear appeal the present tariff elimination schedule. Federal Finance Minister Wilson will present a discussion paper later next week citing opinions from government, labor, labor, and management experts on die subject of competitiveness in the country.

Red Tape John Winters also claimed that there's too much red tape when business business faces issues such as re-zoning and building permits. "I think a businessman businessman will find it too frustrating," he said. The former mayor pointed to the number of For Sale signs on buildings in the Baseline Rd. industrial industrial area as proof of the town's lack of success in meeting the needs of the business community. "I think it bodes trouble in the future for the taxpayers," taxpayers," he added. As former mayor of the municipality, Mr. Winters stated that his major problem problem was coping with discord discord among councillors. He said that his three years in the mayor's chair were frustrating because of that dissent. But, he believes his 1985-88 track record was sound.

"I'm proud to say we achieved most of the goals," he said. Some of these accomplishments accomplishments included the new Bowmanville arena and other new facilities for the Town of Newcastle. He said his administration administration provided "hard services" services" and didn't spend a lot of money on consultants' reports. Mr. Winters criticized the present administration for a number of decisions. He suggested the trip to Hong Kong accomplished nothing and stirred up a lot of bad feelings. He also criticized the current council council for closing the town hall to many of the name change committee repre-. sentatives who attended a council meeting earlier in the term. Moreover, Mr. Winters added that the town has placed expensive charges on obtaining information information from the municipality. municipality.

He numbers the Port Granby clean-up and the Ontario Hydro agreement among the outstanding issues. "I thought lo myself if anyone who's really genuinely genuinely interested backs away, then all you're going going to do is end up with poor representation." he explained. o OSHAWA--With five people in the race for the mayor's chair, the Oshawa Municipal election has begun to cook.
