Yours truly, Heino Nielsen Business Agent HN/ Encl. cc: Tom Galli ' 9 AFFILIATED TO: ONTARIO FEDERATION OF LABOUR • NATIONAL UNION OF PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES CANADIAN LABOUR CONGRESS t m (a RESOLUTION RE: AUTO TARIFF WHEREAS: the auto industry, largely due to the Auto Pact, is critical to the economic health of Canada and its communities, particularly Woodstock, Tillsonburg, Ingersoll and Oxford County. This important industry has been described as the Engine of the Canadian economy; and WHEREAS: trade policy has always been central to Canadian auto policy. Auto provides 150,000 direct jobs (assembly and components) and some 175,000 spin-off jobs (steel, plastics, glass, rubber etc.); and WHEREAS: the Federal Government is contemplating an end to the Auto Pact by eliminating tariffs on all vehicles and components coming from overseas; and WHEREAS: overseas auto companies have demonstrated a markedly lower commitment to investment and jobs than the Big Three companies; and WHEREAS: the elimination of tariffs facing non auto -pact companies would inevitably lead to significant job losses in the many communities in Canada that depend on the auto industry, either directly or indirectly through related activities such as parts, production and spin-off economic activity; and THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Federal Government reverse their recent decision on auto parts and cease any action, legislative or otherwise, that would lead to the elimination of auto tariffs on vehicle assembly. In addition, the Federal Government must fully commit to protect the principles of the Auto Pact; and BE IT FUR'T'HER RESOLVED that this Tillsonburg Town Council, goes on record with the Federal and Provincial Governments in supporting the immediate withdrawal of any intention to implement such tariff removal and ensure the protection of the Auto Pact. FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that this resolution be endorsed and forwarded for support to the A.M.O. Association of Ontario Municipalities, and F.C.M. Federation of Canadian Municipalities, for their support. CAW" TCA CIA NADA PRESENTATION TO FEDERAL MINISTER OF INDUSTRY JOHN MANLEY Tarff Changes The Canadian Auto Industry 0 BUZZ HARGROVE, PRESIDENT CANADIAN AUTO WORKERS UNION Toronto, Ontario December 17, 1997 Tariff Changes and the Canadian Auto Industry CAW -Canada' Presentation to John Manley, Federal Minister of Industry In response to lobbying from Japanese -based auto companies, the federal government is about to legislate an end to the tariff on auto components facing overseas imports from non -auto pact companies (imported components from the U.S. and Mexico are already gone or being phased out for qualifying companies under the NAFTA). Although the government was in the midst of a joint review with the companies, of the direction of this industry - a review we had been asked to join - it unilaterally and deviously moved to make this tariff change by slipping it in, by way of other legislation, hiding it in a section on "Works of Art, Collectors' Pieces, and Antiques". The government has tried to argue that its intentions were well known long ago, but it was certainly the understanding of the CAW that past tariff concessions to the Japanese companies were temporary (why else were they scheduled to end on December 31, 1997?). Discussions with GM, Ford, Chrysler, and the Automotive Parts Manufacturers? Association confirm that our understanding was shared by the industry as well. We wrote to you in August (August 6, 1997) but received no reply until we had sent a 4. second letter (November 19,1997) and after the Bill had gone through the House. This 'The Canadian Autoworkers represent over 200,000 workers across Canada including 90,000 in the motor vehicle and components sector. f process follows a pattern of arrogant disregard for democratic processes that has dangerously become all too common in Ottawa. Bad decisions, badly made, must - especially in this case - be reversed and learned from. RESPONDING TO IMPORTS: CANADA AND THE U.S. A weak market and excess capacity in Japan, and a determination to increase market share overseas, has recently led to a marked increase in motor vehicle exports from Japan. Contrast the reaction of the governments of the U.S. and Canada. U.S. vehicle imports from Japan have increased 11 % so far this year. The reaction of the U.S. administration was to threaten retaliation. Canadian vehicle imports from Japan increased 63916' (121 % for Honda and 100% for Toyota) as the Japanese -based companies increased exports to Canada faster than to any other country in the world. Although we have to shout louder than the U.S. to be heard, our response was silence - an implicit invitation to keep shipping. And, to add insult to injury, we declared that they should be rewarded by ending all tarii s on imported parts! (The U.S. retains its 2.5% tariff on components, and still retain a 25% tariff on pick-ups). Not a very impressive negotiating strategy. FAIRNESS AND UNFAIR COMPLAINTS Toyota and Honda have argued that the Japanese -based industry is being treated unfairly by Canada. Let's look at some facts. They have, since the mid -eighties, been 2 1 14 ,I. t given exemption on the parts duties they faced. They were invited into the auto pact in the latter eighties but refused. They always run a surplus in auto trade with us (almost $3 billion in latest year) and for every dollar of auto parts we send to Japan, Japan ships over $33 to us. At a time when Big Three sales in Canada did relatively well, increasing by 12% in the first 11 months of this year, Honda sales increased by 41 % and Toyota by 44% (Honda and Toyota overall sales include both transplants and imports). Exactly who is being unfair to whom in this trading relationship? JOBS: IS THE GOVERNMENT COUNTING? The CAW has never attacked the investments made in Canada b%r the Japanese - based companies. We have never argued that the issue is the nationality of the companies involved. Our emphasis has always been on the pgfonnancc of auto companies as measured by their long term commitments to Canada in terms of investment and jobs. By this measure, the Japanese -based companies fall short. To put the new investments by Honda and Toyota in perspective, Ford and GM have invested more than these two companies in just components in Windsor alone. Chrysler has created more new jobs just through the expansion of its assembly plants in Windsor and Bramalea. And the reduced worktime negotiated by our union in the nineties has opened up some 2,000 jobs at the Big Three - about the level of new jobs promised by Honda and Toyota. 3 h -R Even if we exclude Nissan and Mazda - who sell here but provide virtually no manufacturing jobs here (Nissan has a wheel plant) - and even if we look ahead and include the new investments being made by Honda and Toyota, then for every vehicle sold here, the job creation ratio of the Big Three is three four times that of Honda and Toyota. After their expansions, Honda and Toyota will directly employ about 4,000 workers. If Chrysler, (which sells about 20% more vehicles than Honda and Toyota), matched their direct job contribution in Canada, they would provide under S, 000 jobs here, rather than the 15,000 they actually employ. Extend this to all of the Big Three, and they'd have under 20,000 direct workers in Canada rather than over 60,000 - more than 40, 000 jobs below where they are today. What can be said of an industrial policy that encourages the Japanese companies to import more duty-free - rather than having to produce more here? OBLIVIOUS TIMING We cannot conceive of a worse time to increase incentives to import automotive products. Global excess capacity is estimated to be over 20 million units (some 80 assembly plants); we are now in a trade agreement with Mexico which has seen exports from Mexico explode (for every dollar of automotive goods we export to Mexico, we import $13-$14 and the automotive deficit with Mexico in 1995-6 exceeded even that with Japan); Asia is in the midst of a deep crisis and looking to export its way out (even before the economic collapse, S.Korea had an internal market of under 2 million but was building capacity for almost 6 million units); the Japanese Yen has fallen by 30% since 4 I- 1995; workers in the North American industry are anticipating or experiencing massive restructuring due to technological change, workplace reorganizing, outsourcing, and plant closures (GM's announcement of a workforce reduction in North America of some 41 42,000 jobs is only the latest in a series of on-going job losses); and overall Canadian unemployment remains depressingly high in spite of the federal government's election promises. In this context, what could possibly spur a government to aggravate the threats Canadian workers and their communities face? INCENTIVES FOR WHAT PURPOSE? The government might argue that this latest tariff -reduction is an incentive to get more assembly plants here. This is ridiculous. First, Honda and Toyota are already here and have already announced expansions; any additional favours are gravy, not investment incentives. Besides, they themselves didn't come because of the tariff reduction, but out of fear of further Canadian retaliation after former minister Ed Lumley's warnings in the early eighties, and because of their recognition that Canada happens to be a good place to invest. Second, given the excess capacity in North America, we shouldn't be encouraging more assembly plants but emphasizing the need for more Canadian parts content in existing plants. Reducing the parts tariff, however, does the opposite; if anything, it's an incentive to import more parts. What is driving the government's thinking? 5 ' j% ,V CONSUMERS AND PRICES In the early nineties, the U.S.-based auto companies increased their prices beyond inflation and costs; they traded market -share for profits. As workers in the industry and as consumers, we would have preferred. that prices were lower and output higher. This has, unfortunately, given some ammunition to free-traders. In response, we emphasize the following points: 1. Given the importance of this industry in the consumer budget, the government should regularly monitor, analyze, and publicly report on trends in vehicle prices. 2. The economic climate is now radically changed. Investments in Forth America, massive excess capacity internationally, and the falling currencies in Asia are already restraining auto pricing. 3. Consumers aren't helped much by a policy that throws people out of stork and reduces domestic purchasing power. Consumers are also workers and in Canada we're starting with unemployment rates that are already high. As a recent Business Week article pointed out, when we buy domestic goods, the issue isn't just price; we buy a package that imports can't replace: "Every [domestic] auto is better than any import because it contahis features you can't get on any import - schools, crime preveutioyi, roads, bridges, defense, health care, social security, etc." CONCLUSION: WH07S SPEAKING FOR CANADIAN JOBS? Canada has an auto industry because historically we made a conscious decision that this was crucial to our economy. The central policy instrument used to guarantee an industry was trade policy. The government's removal of the parts tariff has left us in the historically unique position of having less tariff protection on components than even the dominant American industry. 6 18 The investments which our past policy brought to Canada led to the development of an efficient, high quality, low cost industry. But we cannot leave the sector's future to the market. New international pressures and uncertainties demand that we don't surrender what is left of our remaining trade policy tools. In recent times, our trade policy revolved around the auto pact. The principle under which the Big Three made their investments was that access to the Canadian market depended on commitments made to our communities. The penalty to enforce this was tariffs on parts and vehicles facing those who refused to make this commitment. Ending the tariff on parts undermines what is left of the auto pact. It does so for no defensible reason, at the worst of times, and with no alternative policy in place. We therefore call on the Ministry of Industry, as the government ministry allegedly most responsible for supporting a strong domestic auto sector to: a) Speak out loudly and clearly on behalf of Canadian workers and their communities a) Seriously re-exanune your ill -thought out direction on the auto parts tariff and reverse it. c) Assure workers, their communities, and the auto pact members of the industry that you have no intention of going even further to end the tariff on vehicles, thereby completely ending the auto pact. None of these minimal steps require long studies and repetitious meetings. There is no reason why this government can't respond quickly and positively before the uncertainty grows. nkopeiu343 December 14/97 7 19 Mr. D. Morris Clerk -Administrator Municipal Office Second Floor, Town Centre Mall Tillsonburg, Ontario March 12, 1998 Dear Mr. Morris, On behalf of the Annandale School Community Advisory Council, I would like to request an opportunity to appear with a delegation of four members at your next Town Council Meeting. We would like to make a short presentation regarding the safety of our students as they cross Tillson Avenue. As you are aware, Tillson Avenue is a very busy street carrying thousands of cars and large trucks during our school day. Our traffic pedestrian surveys show that Annandale students make approximately 800 crossings a day on Tillson Avenue in front of our building alone. Clearly the inherent risks are evident in this situation. We would like to explore with you, possible solutions in this matter. We look forward to sharing our concerns and our survey information with Council as soon as possible. Norm Ryder Principal c.c.

Expiration dates are attached to all recent draft plan approvals from the County of Oxford to provide Town Council and County Council an opportunity to revisit a draft plan and determine if the approval should be revoked or additional conditions should be added to accommodate changes in policy which would affect the proposed development. In conjunction with the draft plan extension, the applicant has also requested an extension of the water allocation granted by the Town of Tillsonburg. The Town of Tillsonburg adopted a water allocation policy in 1993 to address concerns raised by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy regarding the Town's water capacity available for development. This policy requires the applicant to enter into a water allocation agreement 26 It D•4 SH ETi 6 GRANDVIEW OR w U D J -—= O Z �A�rti4M h O�� 14119 w GRANOViEW OR O I0logWILCOX ST.

C 2, .'5 CO Awfft- Vacant LEGEND Request for Draft Plan Extension - 32T-89010 Page 2 with the Town that stipulates if development does not proceed within a prescribed time period, the commitment for water allocation would be removed. The Town is responsible for granting extensions of the water allocation while the County is responsible for granting extensions of the draft plan approval. (B) BACKGROUND This proposed plan of subdivision was initially draft approved by the County of Oxford on June 22, 1994, subject to the fulfilment of 26 conditions of draft approval. The approval was recommended based on a water allocation of 50 residential units agreed to by the Town of Tillsonburg provided that all services would be installed in this subdivision by September 1, 1995. At the request of the applicant's solicitor, County Council amended some of the draft approval conditions on June 28, 1995, including the extension of the draft water allocation and draft approval to September 1, 1996. This extension was requested to permit the subdivision agreement to be resolved, with particular attention to the position and future use of the land fill site on the property. A second draft plan extension was approved by County Council on September 5, 1996 extending the draft approval for six months until March 1, 1997. A third draft plan extension was approved by County Council on June 11, 1997, extending the draft approval for nine months until March 1, 1998. At the request of the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg, Condition No. 12 was also modified to require all services to be installed by March 1, 1998. On February 20, 1998, a letter was faxed to the agent indicating that the draft plan approval would not be extended without the submission of a performance standard summary. In this letter, our Department indicated that draft plan approval would lapse on March 31, 1998, however, the letter should have indicated that the draft approval lapses on March 1, 1998. (C) PLANNING REVIEW Our Department has now received the performance standard summary completed by the applicant. There is little information in the applicant's response to indicate exactly when development will proceed, however, the agent has indicated that the "delay in starting the development of this parcel has been caused by a number of personal matters which have occurred since the death of Dave Leifer", who is one of the principals of Davlaur Developments. �9 Request for Draft Plan Extension - 32T-89010 Page 3 Although the applicant has extended the draft approval on three previous occasions, we do not believe the closure of the file would be appropriate at this time. Many planning issues have already been addressed and there is currently adequate uncommitted reserve capacity in the Town's water supply to accommodate this development as well as some future development in the Town. Based on the latest calculation completed by the Town of Tillsonburg on December 31, 1997, there are 686 units of uncommitted reserve capacity in the Town. If further extensions are requested in the future, a performance standards summary application will again need to be completed for review by Tillsonburg Council and our Department prior to a recommendation being submitted to County Public Health and Planning Committee and County Council. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg extend the water allocation for the draft plan of subdivision 32T-89010 submitted by Davlaur Developments Ltd., located on the west side of Quarter Town Line, lying north of Newell Road, being Part Lots 8 & 9, Concession 12 (Dereham) in the Town of Tillsonburg, for one (1) year to March 1- 1999. It is further recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg recommend to Oxford County Council that it extend the draft approval for plan of subdivision 32T-89010 for one (1) year to March 1. 1999 and that Condition No. 12 be modified as follows: " 12. The subdivision agreement between the owner and the Town of Tillsonburg shall recognize that a water allocation for 50 residential units is available for Phase 1 of Subdivision Plan 32T-89010, providing all services are installed within this subdivision plan by March 1, 1999. If final approval has not been given to Phase 1 by this date, draft plan approval for Phase 1 will lapse."

The proposed plan will be burning off large quantities of sulphur dioxide and will be giving off other unnamed emissions. The air flow pattern from this area follows a south, south west and westerly direction. I The general drift of these emissions will follow a path through some of the areas most productive farm land. This land produces high value specialty crops such as tobacco, t der fruit, orchards, vegetables, ginseng, herbs and the traditional crops of com and soybeans. s most of these specialty crops are sensitive to small amounts of pollutants, it would seem reasonable that everyone should be concerned. This area also boasts some good fishing streams, e.g. Big atter, south Otte, Little Otter, Hemlock Creek, Clear Creek, Big Creek, Deer Creek and Long Point Boy. Also, what will the emissions do to the Carolinian Forest? Norfolk Township also has the delicate biosphere situated at Long Point. As there are very few biospheres such as this we must preserve the delicate balance in nature to save it. Many voices treed to be heard to persuade Bayham Township council not to allow thi* site to go in. The amended by law has already passed second reading., We are comnntted to doing everything within our legal power to prevenj the proposal from talang Place. However our council is blinded by the fact that they may receive fax Imonies from this tax project but seem oblivious to the concerns of their yatepayers despite the fike that there are about 1200 peoplejiving within a one and a half mile radius of the site. Co�ncillo Nezezon and Mason %tried to rant tete zoning amendments through at the council meeting of Feb. 9/98. With this letter we are sending a copy of our concerns and objectJons to this project. Hopefully you and your colleagues will join us in also voicing you` concerns for the safety, preservation attd well beim of this area. Yours truly, Tony Csinos RR.

Please explain how a Sour gas processing plant has, anything to do with agriculture. The Official plan amembnent N 105 states that there are no specialty sails associated with the subject lands yet there is a former tobacco farm butting up to it on the cast side.

How will it affect our trout streams and other fishing spots. 4. Whet are the economic benefits to Bayllam? Will Talisman employ local people for the duration of the operation? Will they patronize our local merchwits, banks etc? What great anloutit of taxes is Talisman going to pay to matte it worth the muni�ipalily allowing the temporary plant to be placed here? Certainly the plant facilities and accesssor buildings being located on skids won't add much to the taxer. If there are no benefits to our community why do we need the plant here? 5. Real estate agents have Wormed us that when an industry mom into an area, property values decline.

N4S 7Y3 Dear Sirs: TEL: (519) 842-3658 FAX: (5191 842-5001 COd1d" OF OXFORD ` t DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT MAR - 31998 We are requesting certain changes to the part lot control provisions affecting the above lots. The reason for this is that Lots 16 and 17 have been identified with a potential erosion problem from the beginning of the subdivision and in effect it has been decided that the only reasonable course of action is to abandon those two lots as developable properties. In a way this is similar to what happened to the south in the Comber Court area. We enclose sketch prepared by Mr. Husted and you will see that Lots 16 and 17 are not utilized except for garage extensions from Lots 15 and 18 respectively. We also enclose a copy of the Mr. Cowan's letter to ourselves dated January 4, 1995 and our letter to Mr. Morris dated January 7, 1998 and his reply dated February 2, 1998. Also enclosed is the required part lot control amendment application and our cheque for $310.30 on the basis that two new lots are being created. Actually since the total number of lots is being reduced, I suppose one could argue for a refund of fees previously paid and if that is available, please send it along. The enclosed plan and correspondence refers to other issues in the vicinity of Lot 53 further to the north. At the present time that issue is somewhat unclear and accordingly we are proceeding with the required amendments to the lots further to the south. To summarize, Lots 15 and 16 will be sold together, subject to an easement over PART 4, Plan 41 R-5306 in favour of Lots 14, and Lots 17 and 18 will be sold together, together with 45 s an easement over part of Lot 19 designated as PART 8 on 41 R-5306. trust that this is all in order and if there are any further questions, please advise. Yours truly, IAN R. LINT I RL/dp Encs. cc: Mr. Steve Smith -4.

They are worried theywill lose their rights under the new Act, which gives the province sweeping, discretionary powers. "Excuse me if I'm notas enamoured bythis thick document as are the people atthe head table," Rick Smith, a councillor from Red Lake in northern Ontario, said during the wrap-up session on the new act Wednesday. "It's fine to say that municipalities have natural person powers and responsibilities, but they don't have any rights," Smith said. "Let's get both sides of the equation." Panelist Ernie Hardeman, Parliamentary As- sistant, Municipal Affairs — Rural, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, replied that, as well as giving municipalities responsibilities in 13 areas or spheres of influence, "it will give you the ability to deal with those spheres of influence." Rob Schmidt from the County of Essex said some of the proposed changes in the Municipal Act "would be a source of ongoing concern for municipalities," adding that changes affecting municipalities could be made "at the whim of the Minister of Municipal Affairs." The second panelist, A. R. (Russ) Black, Municipal Solicitor with the Muskoka law firm of Lang & Black, replied that"I don't read that discretion (of the Minister) in Section 190. It does give us theflexibilitywe need as municipalities. There has to be a simplification of municipal government."

We recognize that municipalities have special circumstances this year, for this is a year of transition. The local services realignment exercise has resulted in changed responsibilities and additional tax room for municipalities. As a result, the normal percentage interim levy amount which may be requested by upper tier municipalities from lower tiers does not reflect 1998 needs or revenue entitlements. To help deal with this situation, there have been two changes made to the tnaxctnum interim levy rates for this year only. First, as many of you know, the Education Quality Improvement Act indicates that the March 1998' due to school boards from the residential assessment will be 12.5 per cent of the 1997 levy. In 1999, this percentage will return to the normal rate of 25 per cent. Second, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has signed a regulation which increases the upper -tier interim levy. Again, this special percentage is effective for 1998 only. A copy of this regulation is attached for your information. The percentage increase that each upper tier may request has been individually calculated, taking into consideration the 1997 levy, the amount of money not required to be paid by the lower tier to the school board, and the split between upper and lower tiers of new financial responsc'bditiC-6- which affect Cash flow before June 30.
