The ‘two largest Canadian-

owned car rental companies.

—Holiday and. Tilden—
submitted a joint brief to the
federal Ministry of Transport

last week calling for counter _

space at Canadian airports to
be set aside as a matter of
right for Canadian owned
companies.

Holiday Rent-a- .-Car vice-
president Jim Tennant said a
Canadian company should be

-defined as one with owner-
ship and control held by
Canadian citizens. He also
said new guidelines should
be established to distinguish
between true Canadian
companies and those which
are, in fact, subsidaries of
‘American firms.

Under the present arrange-
ment, Canadian car rental
companies are required to
bid for counter space against
U.S. giants such as Hertz,
Avis, and Budget, on an
equal footing.

‘According to Tennant, this ~

gives the American firms a
tremendous advantage.

“Because of their huge
base of operations in the
U.S., they can afford to bid
higher for Canadian counter
space,” he said.

The brief docs not suggest
that foreign companies be
excluded from the Canadian
airport) cent-a-car = market,
only that some counter space
be reserved for Canadian
bidders.

“Here is an opportunity
for the Canadian government
to foster growth of Canadians
firms at no cost to the
taxpayer,’ Tennant said.
