EXHIBIT 99

Press release issued October 25, 2004 in which the Registrant announced that
it has made separate proposals to the respective boards of directors of
its three public subsidiaries, Intier Automotive Inc., Decoma International
Inc. and Tesma International Inc., in each case, to acquire all the
outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of each subsidiary not
owned by the Registrant at the share exchange ratio specified for each
or cash (calculated on the specified formula and subject to a capped
aggregate amount in each case).  Each proposal, which would be
implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under Ontario
Law, is independent and not conditional on completion of the other
transactions.
