Presidents Message |
 First
of all I would like to thank you for your support in electing me
President of the associ-ation for the next two years.
It is an honor
and a privilege to have this position and I look forward to working
with our new board and you our members over my term.
It was also
nice to see at our Annual General Meeting for the first time a representative
from Western Canada elected to the board. I welcome Eric Stebner
from Akhurst Machinery and look forward to hearing his perspective
on business out west.
Also, I would
again like to thank Kurt Neiman for serving as President with enthusiasm
and professionalism over the past two years. Kurt will be staying
on the board for at least another two years as Past President and
I look forward to continue working with him.
Also finishing
out his term this year was Albert Leblanc of A.W. Miller. Albert
has served tirelessly for the organization over the years and recently
finished up his term as Past President. From all of the organization
I thank you Albert.
Your insight
will be missed.
Since our last
newsletter the major show that we sponsor CMTS 2005 was held at
the National Trade Center. You will see a brief report from Jim
Burrows on the show elsewhere in this newsletter.
Again as we
saw last year, 2005 continues to have it highs and lows. As far
as the numbers go units and dollars are up a little in Eastern Canada
and up extensively in Western Canada.
However, the
big question to me: are profits up?
Discounting
and special terms have seemed to become the standard not the exception
anymore.
The positive
news that Toyota is putting in a plant in Woodstockwas later offset
with recent news that a GM plant in Oshawa was to be closed.
Will we ever
see business like 1999 and 2000? Hopefully but unlikely! Hopefully
2006 will bring us more stability!
I would like
to end my message by wishing all of our members and there families
a safe and happy holiday season and may 2006 bring us all health
and prosperity.
Best regards,
Brian Donnelly |
