Harper Says Canada’s Automotive Plans Will Track U.S.A.
Harper Says Canada’s Automotive Plans Will Track U.S.A.
March 29 (Bloomberg) — Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his government’s plans to help General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC will track similar efforts by President Barack Obama’s administration.
“Our plans will obviously be very close in nature,” Harper said in an interview today in Washington.
Obama’s auto task force, after assessing proposals from GM and Chrysler, will announce tomorrow whether the government will give the automakers more U.S. assistance. The companies have received $17.4 billion since December and asked for an additional $21.6 billion in aid last month.
Canada’s Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Industry Minister Tony Clement have scheduled a press conference tomorrow at 12 p.m. Ottawa time to discuss “restructuring” in the auto industry.
Harper said Canadian officials are in close consultation with the U.S. on the automotive industry, though he declined to comment on the specifics of the discussions or the U.S. plan.
“I’m very confident the United States government has its sights firmly on the objective of a restructuring where the tough decisions are made such that the restructuring will be successful,” he said. “They do understand that if one were to pursue a restructuring without making the stakeholders make all the tough decisions, then the restructuring could well fail.”
Chrysler, seeking $2.3 billion in aid from the Canadian government, has been unable to reach an agreement with the country’s auto union to reduce costs ahead of a March 31 deadline, Ken Lewenza, president of the Canadian Auto Workers, said on March 27 on a call with reporters.
Chrysler builds minivans in Windsor, Ontario, and the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger cars in Brampton, Ontario. The company has a metal casting plant in Toronto.
Reviving the U.S. auto industry will require a “set of sacrifices from all parties involved, management, labor, shareholders, creditors, suppliers, dealers,” Obama said in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” taped March 27. “Everybody’s going to have to come to the table and say it’s important for us — to take serious restructuring steps now in order to preserve a brighter future down the road.”

ALUMINUM BOXES AND ENCLOSURES
ALUMINUM BOXES AND ALUMINUM ENCLOSURES. What sensation aluminum has become in the hardware market is no secret. The metal and its derivatives are being widely being used in not only huge companies such as automobiles and aeronautics but also in small scale usage such as boxes and enclosures for mundane activities. Here is guide to the benefiting properties which make aluminum a favorite over its other metal and alloy counterparts, especially when it comes to boxes and enclosures. This article would also successfully hope to throw light on different purpose for which the boxes are being manufactured for.
? DURABILITY
Aluminum is, as of now, the most durable and its product the most stable, as compared to any other metal and its products if gauged on the scale of practical use. The aluminum boxes and enclosure, whether big or small are highly resistant to corrosive reactions and this one property is largely responsible for aluminum’s long life span.
? PROTECTS THE STORED MATERIAL
Aluminum and the derivatives obtained from it have a very low reactivity when they come in contact with air. There may be many elements and metals which are much lighter and durable than aluminum but lose out because they react vigorously when kept in the atmosphere. These highly reactive metals cannot be used to make something for casual use like normal boxes. Aluminum, being low on reactivity protects the stored material inside form reactants and attacks from outside.
? LIGHTER AND GOOD TEXTURE
Aluminum is very light as compared to other alloys/metals. This is one reason that huge enclosures which to be transported over long distances are made out of aluminum so that loading and unloading is a much easier task.
But these quality aluminum products are slightly costlier than those made from other metals but it is just an initial investment.
