4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, December 1,1993 Section Two Clubs and Organizations Canadian Club Hears About Importance of World Trade By Mary Fraser "As Canadians, we must believe in ourselves. We must become what we arc perceived to be by the rest of the world," Harold Hammond told members of The Canadian Club on Wednesday, November 24th at St. John's Church. • The recently retired Superintendent Superintendent of Operations for World-wide Distribution with General Motors spoke to an appreciative audience about his international business experiences. experiences. Mr. Hammond explained how the export division, which ships auto parts to assembly plants all over the world, got its start. "With the Auto Pact of 1965, Canada was handed the business of shipping outside of North America, which was basically a white elephant, since there was little or no export business at that time," Mr. Hammond explained. "Since then, however, the business has done nothing but grow." Mr. Hammond felt strongly that this was due to dedicated Canadians who refused to give up, but instead , with some government assistance, worked with developing countries, providing them with the know-how, vehicles and engines needed for farm, oil and construction projects. He stressed that there is government financing available for many kinds of entrepreneurial programmes and that Canadians need to believe in themselves themselves and take risks. No business is without setbacks, of course. Canadian exporters for General Motors lost lucrative contracts contracts when political tics with such countries as Iran, Iraq and South Africa Africa were severed. Nevertheless, such problems can be overcome and should not be a deterrent for those who arc keen to enter the international international market. Ironically, the competition in the export business docs not come from tithcr car industries but from within General Motors itself. The company has branches in Brazil and Germany that arc strong contenders for world markets, but Canadians, says Mr. Hammond, are more than equal to the challenge. In his travels (over 60,000 miles in this past year alone) Mr. Hammond Hammond has had the opportunity to see, first-hand, how Canada is perceived by the rest of the world. They arc looking for the Canadian flag to be part of the business deal. They like the American dollar but dislike the Americans. Where they sec the Maple Leaf, they have a high level of expectation," Mr. Hammond emphasized. Canadians should not be mtimi- dated by competition outside of North America, either. After touring the United States, South America, Europe, Africa and Japan, Mr. Hammond Hammond firmly believes that Canada is second to none. "No one can deny tltc success of the Japanese," he admitted, "but the cracks arc beginning to show in the armour." Long hours, alcoholism, stress and disrupted family life arc leading to bum-out. The Japanese yen is in worse shape than the Canadian Canadian dollar, an advantage we should not be ignoring. "It is now we should stand up, not sit back and say that these arc tough economic times," Mr. Hammond stressed. To people in other parts of the world, Canadians arc. perceived to have it all-a high standard of living, unparalleled material possessions, countless rights and freedoms. Mr. Hammond posed the question. Is it true? "Do we really have, for example, freedom of speech? Who's doing the talking? Do we speak up for the moral values that have shaped this country? Arc we proud to be Canadian?" Canadian?" People everywhere in the world believe in Canada. They arc proud to do business with Canadians . Yet the brain-drain to countries that trust Canadian Canadian ingenuity and expertise more than Canada docs, continues. Mr. Hammond felt that Canadians might benefit from a painful lesson learned by the Swiss about self-faith, risk and opportunity. A Swiss watch company rejected the concept of the quartz movement by two of its own engineers who consequently took their invention to Japan. The rest is international marketing history. Mr. Hammond told his audience, "We must believe in ourselves and we must begin here and now in this room and in this community." Bowmanvillc Men's Canadian Club Speakers' Committee.
