News conference held by Ed Lumley, Minister of Regional Economic Expansion; [Kurt Fliter], President of Messerschmitt B.B. (a West German manufacturer of helicopters); and Herb Gray, Treasury Board President. In a bilingual presentation Lumley and Fliter announce the signing of a letter of understanding between the government of Canada and MBB to establish a helicopter manufacturing plant in Fort Erie, Ontario through a joint venture with Fleet Industries and Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. Lumley points out the spin-off benefits accruing to Ontario's industries and labour force, the cost of the project, repayment schedule, and the possibility of future high technology plants being established. Questions are then fielded in English and in French on: the uniqueness and competitiveness of the MBB helicopter; joint ventures sought by the West German manufacturer; time-table for construction of the facility and number of jobs to be created; federal support for the project; a mandate for world production levels; the Pratt and Whitney stop engine; amount of the German investment; levels of employment at the Fort Erie plant and business dealings between MBB and Pratt and Whitney Aircraft of Canada Ltd. <27mn>
