As a result, some 550 white-collar jobs will be eliminated, 80 percent
of which will take place this month with another 20 percent over the
next nine months. BRP already laid-off some 370 bluecollar employees in
its third quarter ended Oct. 31, and another 430 blue-collar employees
have received temporary lay-off notices in the fourth quarter. This
workforce reduction involves all BRP divisions, the company reported.

Maybe some will start up a new company and compete with the parent. This
industry could use some competition in Canada. Bombardier routinely
prices Canadian products 30% more in Canada even considering exchange.

Anything going on at Bruinswick?


Yeah, right, someone is going to start up a new outboard motor and jetski
manufacturing company to compete at a serious level with Bombardier at the
same time motorized recreational vehicle manufacturers around the world
are going teats-up.


Would not be hard to compete with Bombardier or Bruinswick. They are
typical fat, lethargic, misrun multi-national on corporates welfare. Not
really going anywhere but down. Certainly no one is buying their products
like they used to. Me, I am delaying my boat purchase indefinitely. Will
just rent them.
