The news came in a letter to Michael Starr, MP, Oshawa, who requested the minister on Aug. 22 to clarify what assis- tance would be available to the workers. Mr. Starr received the reply this week. The minister says in the let- ter that benefits up to $90 would be available under retraining programs being arranged through the federal - provincial technical and vocational training agreement.

In a Commons question period he asked Prime Minister Pearson if the government |would give careful scrutiny to the Canada - U.S. auto pact be- cause GM has stated the lay offs were due to changes. brought about because of the agreement. Mr. Pearson referred the question to industry minister C. M. Drury who read off some Dominion Bureau of Statistics' figures showing an upward trend in employment in the automobile industry in Canada. Mr. Starr countered that there has been a steady increase in this employment for the past five or six years and that this increase could not be attributed to the pact. He urged the government to review the agreement in' detail in an effort to determine if it was actually working to the betterment of the industry an¢l Parts Plant Fears were expressed today that a massive layoff is immi- nent within the city's automo- tive industry as a result of the Canadian-wide rail strike, "It could happen any time," Albert Taylor, president of Local 222, United Auto Workers of America, said today, hours after major layoffs (resulting from the rail strike). were announced in two Ontario cities. McKinnon Industries Lid., a manufacturer: of. auto compo- nents for GM. announced ves- terday it would lay off 600 men at a Windsor plant until the rail strike ends and the company also said 4,700 employees would jes a: off at its St. Catharines plant.

Mr. Taylor said that "GM plans on hiring 700 to 900 men at the Ste. Therese plant and that through | "mismanagement it wili cost GM workers dn Osh- awa that many jobs." Mr. Taylor' said the labor mar- ket is cheaper in Ste. Therese and that this was a big decid» ing factor in GM's-action, which is linked with the 2,600-man lay off in the city.
