F'rec Preos photo îWIlson: Pact threatened if agreement unratified The Auto Pact could be in trouble if the free trade agree- ment between Canada and the United States is not ratified, accorcing to Finance Minister Michael Wilson. Wilson made bis prediction while hielping Progressive Conservative candidate Rene Soetens open bis Ontario riding office in Pickering Village asat Wednesday. Wilson said there are between 10 and 12 US. governors who would like to open the Auto Pact. He told local reporters that the pact could be open by giving six months notice. "If they are opening it, it's not te give things away," said Wilson, who added that the Auto Pact would be safer if included in the free trade agreement. The agreement has received approval from the U.S. govern- ment. Wilson also admitted that free trade is receiving more approval from western provinces and Quebec than it is in Ontario. Ontario's Liberal government opposes the agreement. Wilson said that the federal Conservatives are not worried about the involvement of David Peterson's Liberal government in the federal election. It is nothing new... .a province helping a federal party. I don't see that as having any impact," said Wilson, who represents the riding of Etobicoke Centre.

"J&M quoted us $400 a tire, but their letter quotes us a much lower figure. Attersley was much lower in price," said Gartley. Only four or five tires were required by Diùrhar.n Recycling. As te, the re~quired Goodyear tires, Gartley said," In rny understanding, Fim not an expert on tires, only Goodyear provides low profile tires, low te the ground, that are required for recydling trucks. " These trucks are relatively new, and the other tires were Goodyear. " There is no possible "deal" going on. We try te be scrupulously dlean, especially if a politician is an owner." Greenhamn was also upset that Attersley was awarded thie tender for police tires. Superintendent Bob Jarvest of Durhamx Regional Police said the police force does not have a tendering process. "We have a bylaw of value of items less than $20,000 must have three or more sources for written quotations." Jarvest said the final contract is awarded te, thé Iowesi; or most suitable quote. "The last two quotations went te Attersley Tire, but we (contacted) other places:. As far as we are concerned, we are above board.
