The Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada left with a bang at the beginning of 1978 when its chairman Thomas Galt the Parti Quebecoi: particuarly Bill 101, the law aimed in part at putting a French face on bilingual Montreal. ly, the Mi Urban C , the regional government comprising all municipalities on the Island of Montreal, held the first in a series of get-togethers to promote the city as a head-office site. The initial gathering was at the refurbished Ritz-Carl- ton Hotel, once the city’s pride. In May the show goes on the road to Toronto and Pa with later events being con. sidered for New Yiq’k, and several European cities. SITE EXCELLENT “I really believe this is an excellent head office city,” Stephen Bigsby, director of the urban community's economic development office, said in an interview. “If you look for what people want in a head office — pleasant, safe sur good close to major centres, good professional services, good transpor- tation, a good school system — we have all those things.” Bigsby sees the westward movement in the past as the result: of a rapidly expanding Canadian economy. “The expansion rate was faster further west.” “Montreal is a natural head-office city and part of the adjustment that has taken place has been because Montreal's place 25 to 30 years ago was disproportionate.” ‘The rise of a new French-speaking business elite, who wanted their place in the city’s economy, also played a role. Sun Life’s chairman Galt spoke no French. “There were some people here who didn't feel comfortable,” Bigsby said. EMPIRE OUT The Montreal of James Munroe and his English-speak- ing cronies, portrayed in the CBC television series Empire Ine., has given way to a city whose business elite includes Paul Desmarais of Power Corp. of Canada, Laurent Beau- doin, chairman of Bombardier Inc., Provigo Inc.’s Antoine Turmel and Michel Belanger, chairman of the National Bank of Canada. . Bigsby praised the efforts of Pierre Lortie, president of the 1 in ly lobbying the Quebec government for changes to help small sell shares franchise food stores that mushroomed into Quebec's first- and second-largest grocery chains. “Those are head offices and they're companies we wouldn't have thought of as head offices 10 years ago.” Promising aréas for expansion in Montreal are the aero- nautics and electronics fields, Bigsby said. Montreal has long been Canada's leading aeronautics centre with Canadair Ltd., Pratt and Whitney Canada Inc., Innotech Inc. and Spar Aerospace Ltd. Canadair will take a. couple of years to shake off the weight of its $1.4-billion loss last vear, $1 billion of it in de- costs for the Chall ive jet. ‘Bell Helicopter's plan to build a $540-million plant near Mirabel Airport, its first outside the United States, is important after the city’s share of subcontracts for the CF-18 warplane fell far short of the $2.5 billion promised by federal politicians during the 1980 referendum on Quebec indepen- dence. “The Bell decision has anchored Montreal's role, which was disputed to some extent, as the aerospace centre of Canada,” Bigsby said. PROVIDE JOBS Bell will provide 2,775 jobs in the 1990s when its new line of Twin Ranger light helicopters is in full production and another 900 jobs will be assured at Pratt and Whitney where Bell will buy engines for the helicopter. The Bell Helicopter Textron Canada plant has a world mandate from its parent company in Fort Worth, Tex. Pratt and Whitney has world mandates on three lines of aircraft engines produced at its suburban Longueuil plant. Montreal also will benefit from the $3.85-billion contract to build six frigates for the Canadian Forces. Paramax Electronics Inc., a subsidiary of Sperry Corp., has a $1.25-billion contract to supply the electronics and weapons systems for the ships. In civilian electronics, Montreal counts AES Data Ltd. and Micom Co., pioneers in word-processing, both founded by Montreal engineer Stephen Dorsey. Bigsby also mentioned Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd., Bytec-Comterm Inc. and SR Telecom Inc. as budding elec- tronics firms with the potential to become major head offices of the future. Pierre Goyette, president of the Montreal Chamber of Commerce, noted that “Montreal is already the location of large companies such as CP Ltd. and Air Canada. “We have companies which operate at the international level such as Alean and major paper i didn’t violate ite restraint The officials, who asked that they not be identified, said the income figures in- clude retroactive payments to employees, overtime, Pp and incremental increases. The controls pro- gram applies only to in creases in salary scales. Figures released recently by Statisties Canada show total labor income in 1983 for federal employees was $8.216 billion, 9.5 per cent more than the $7.505 billion in 1962. That compares with a 5.6 per-cent increase in labor in come for the country as a whole, a Statistics Canada official said. Labor income includes wages and salaries, plus employer contributions to things such as unemploy ment insurance and pensions. Part of the increase in total labor income for the country as a whole was a result of increases in the level of em ployment. But Treasury Board offi. no increase in the number of public servants eployed by the government. One official said|some pub- lie service _ unio! that ran out j settled until The PQ government appears to be changing its attitude on language. Camille Laurin, the minister who wrote Bill 101, used to say its intent was to make Montreal as French as Toronto is English. On his recent trip to Hong Kong, in quest of Chinese and get listed on the stock markt. “That strategy will lead to creation of the Provigos, the Metro-Richelieus of the future,” he said, referring to —_—_—_— The More You Know About Prices planning to move to the West, Quebec Immi- gration Minister Gerald Godin described Montreal as a bilingual city. Laurin's goal was to abolish official bilingualism in Quebec. Pp received both their gix-per-cent and five- per-cent wage increases in 1983. On paper that works out to an 11-per-cent increase in the one year but they are really getting 11 per cent over two years, the official said. Another official said that “over and above the econ- omic increase of six and five, individual may have either by being promoted tos group that's higher paid or having obtained an inere- ment.
