Consequently, in accordance with Rule 101 of Regulation S-T and Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 4 restates the entire text of the Schedule 13D which was filed on July 7, 1998, as amended by the text set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 8, 2000, the text set forth in Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on July 6, 2000, and the text set forth in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 16, 2000.

        (a), (b), (c) and (f).    This Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz ("Mr. Schwartz" or the "Reporting Person").

        The principal occupation of Mr. Schwartz is Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onex Corporation ("Onex"). The business address of Mr. Schwartz is 161 Bay Street, P.O. Box 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2S1. Mr. Schwartz is a citizen of Canada.

Page 4 of 13 pages.


        Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

        Mr. Schwartz, through 1262479 Ontario Inc., acquired the Subordinate Voting Shares for investment purposes. Mr. Schwartz may from time to time acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability of such shares at prices deemed favorable, the Issuer's business or financial condition and other factors and conditions Mr. Schwartz deems appropriate. Alternatively, Mr. Schwartz may sell all or a portion of his Subordinate Voting Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to the restrictions referred to in Item 6.

        Mr. Schwartz, through American Farm Investment Corporation (or a wholly-owned subsidiary), sold 700,008 Subordinate Voting Shares on March 8, 2000. The sale by Mr. Schwartz was made pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement dated March 1, 2000 (to a Prospectus dated February 18, 2000) in which the Issuer offered 13,600,000 Subordinate Voting Shares and the selling shareholders (including Mr. Schwartz) offered 6,400,000 Subordinate Voting Shares. In a concurrent private placement, a subsidiary of Onex Corporation (the "Onex Subsidiary") issued approximately $253.1 million principal amount of exchangeable debentures due 2025. The exchangeable debentures are exchangeable and redeemable for an aggregate of 5,548,320 Subordinate Voting Shares, in certain circumstances, during their 25-year term. In connection with the exercise by a holder of a debenture of its right to exchange the debentures for Subordinate Voting Shares, any redemption of the debentures at the option of the Onex Subsidiary or the repayment of the debentures at maturity or following an event of default, the Onex Subsidiary may, at its option, satisfy its obligations by payment of a cash amount specified in the debentures, by delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares at their then current market price or by any combination of cash and Subordinate Voting Shares. If the Onex Subsidiary does not have sufficient Subordinate Voting Shares, the requisite number of Multiple Voting Shares held by the Onex Subsidiary will immediately be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares, which shares will be delivered on the exchange.

        In a series of private placements, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex Corporation (collectively, the "Onex Subsidiary") issued approximately $362.3 million principal amount of exchangeable debentures due 2025. The exchangeable debentures are exchangeable and redeemable for an aggregate of 3,666,000 Subordinate Voting Shares, in certain circumstances, during their 25-year term. In connection with the exercise by a holder of a debenture of its right to exchange the debentures for Subordinate Voting Shares, any redemption of the debentures at the option of the Onex Subsidiary or the repayment of the debentures at maturity or following an event of default, the Onex Subsidiary may, at its option, satisfy its obligations by payment of a cash amount specified in the debentures, by delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares at their then current market price or by any combination of cash and Subordinate Voting Shares. If the Onex Subsidiary does not have sufficient Subordinate Voting Shares, the requisite number of Multiple Voting Shares held by the Onex Subsidiary will immediately be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares, which shares will be delivered on the exchange.

        On August 16, 2000, a company controlled by Mr. Schwartz, Onex Corporation, a subsidiary of Onex Corporation and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Onex Corporation (the "Schwartz Entities") each entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc. ("Merrill") and each of the Schwartz Entities executed a confirmation thereto on August 17, 2000. At any time before February 15, 2001, Merrill may purchase 715,055 Subordinate Voting Shares at a forward price of CD$103.13 per Subordinate Voting Share (the "Forward Price") for an aggregate purchase price of CD$73,743,622.15. On February 15, 2001, the Schwartz Entities may deliver the Subordinate Voting Shares or they each may elect to settle the trade with a cash payment (the "Cash Settlement"). If the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Future Trading Price") is greater than the Forward Price, the Schwartz Entities that elect the Cash Settlement agree to pay Merrill Lynch an amount in cash equal to the difference between the Future Trading Price and the Forward Price multiplied by the number of Subordinate Voting Shares as to which the Cash Settlement election is made (the "Equity Amount"). If the Future Trading Price is less than the Forward Price, Merrill has agreed to pay each Schwartz Entity that elects the Cash Settlement an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Equity Amount.

        Except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraphs, Mr. Schwartz does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

        AMENDMENT

        Item 4 is amended by adding the following language before the last paragraph:

        During 2000, Onex and its affiliates (the "Onex Entities") entered into forward sale agreements with Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc. and the Bank of Nova Scotia relating to Subordinate Voting Shares. Shares were pledged as collateral for these forward sale agreements as follows:

Page 6 of 13 pages.


Series

  Maturity Date
  Number of Subordinate Voting Shares
  Reference Price Per Share
One**   May 31, 2001   84,259   Cdn $101.00
Two   August 17, 2025   472,840   Cdn $101.00
Three**   April 30, 2001   29,569   Cdn $125.51
Four   November 2, 2025   1,284,627   Cdn $117.78

**
These forward sale agreements have matured and the positions have been closed through the exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares for cash.

        The reference price approximates the market value of a Subordinate Voting Share at the time the forward sale agreement was entered into. The reference price under the forward sale agreements increase over time. At any time prior to the applicable maturity date, Merrill may purchase the pledged Subordinate Voting Shares at the applicable reference price per Subordinate Voting Share (the "Forward Price"). On the maturity date, the Onex Entities may deliver the applicable Subordinate Voting Shares or may elect to settle the trade with a cash payment (the "Cash Settlement"). If the closing price of a Subordinate Voting Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Future Trading Price") is greater than the Forward Price, the Onex Entities that elect the Cash Settlement are obligated to pay to Merrill Lynch an amount in cash equal to the difference between the Future Trading Price and the Forward Price multiplied by the number of Subordinate Voting Shares as to which the Cash Settlement election is made (the "Equity Amount"). If the Future Trading Price is less than the Forward Price, Merrill is obligated to pay to each Onex Entity that elects the Cash Settlement an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Equity Amount.

        On February 16, 2005, Onex redeemed all of the exchangeable debentures due 2025. Onex elected to satisfy the principal amount of the debentures, an aggregate of $728.9 million, with Subordinate Voting Shares based upon the fixed exchange rates provided in the debentures. In the aggregate, Onex delivered 9,214,320 Subordinate Voting Shares on the redemption and paid an early termination premium of approximately $12.2 million and accrued interest in cash.

        Onex converted 9,214,320 Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares to facilitate the redemption. The redemption of the debentures did not affect the value of Onex' interest in Celestica. Onex undertook the redemption to eliminate its annual interest expense of approximately $11.3 million on the debentures.

        Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        (a) and (b). Mr. Schwartz is the indirect holder of all the issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares of Onex, which are entitled to elect sixty percent (60%) of the members of Onex's Board of Directors and carry such number of votes in the aggregate as represents 60% of the aggregate votes attached to all voting shares of Onex and is thus an indirect beneficial owner of the shares reported. As of the date hereof, Onex beneficially owns 46,161,181 Subordinate Voting Shares of the Issuer, including (i) 7,095,231 Subordinate Voting Shares and (ii) 39,065,950 Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares of the Issuer; each Multiple Voting Share is currently convertible into one Subordinate Voting Share. Of the Multiple Voting Shares owned beneficially by Onex, 11,635,958 Multiple Voting Shares are held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex, including 9,214,320 Subordinate Voting Shares (issuable upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares) that may be delivered, at the Onex Subsidiary's option, upon the exercise or redemption, or at maturity or acceleration, of exchangeable debentures due 2025. See Item 4. Of the Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by Onex, 715,055 Subordinate Voting Shares may be delivered to Merrill on or before February 15, 2001, at the Schwartz Entities' option, 3,871,547 Subordinate Voting Shares are held by Celestica Employee Nominee Corporation, as agent for and on behalf of certain executives and employees of the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's employee share purchase and option plans, 444,700 Subordinate Voting Shares are held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex as general partner of a limited partnership and 736,790 Subordinate Voting Shares are directly or indirectly held by certain officers and employees of Onex and members of their respective families, which, in each case, Onex has the right to vote.

        In addition to the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Schwartz through the beneficial ownership of Onex, Mr. Schwartz controls a company which owns 299,992 Subordinate Voting Shares. The beneficial ownership of shares by Mr. Schwartz does not include options granted pursuant to certain management investment plans of Onex to acquire 1,393,764 Subordinate Voting Shares; such options do not vest within 60 days of the date of this filing.

        The shares deemed to be owned beneficially by Mr. Schwartz represent approximately 4.1% of the Issuer's Subordinate Voting Shares or 22.6% of the Subordinate Voting Shares giving effect to the conversion of all of the Multiple Voting Shares. Mr. Schwartz has the sole right to vote or to direct the vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, 299,992 Subordinate Voting Shares. Mr. Schwartz shares the voting power and disposition power with Onex with respect to 6,795,239 Subordinate Voting Shares and 39,065,950 Multiple Voting Shares.

        (c) Except as described in Item 4 hereof, Mr. Schwartz has not effected any transaction in shares of Subordinate Voting Shares during the past 60 days. The shares sold by Mr. Schwartz referred to in Item 4 were acquired in the Issuer's initial public offering. The Subordinate Voting Shares referred to in Item 4 that have been used to redeem the exchangeable debentures were acquired by Onex upon the initial capitalization of the Issuer in 1996.

Page 8 of 13 pages.


        (d) No person other than Mr. Schwartz has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Subordinate Voting Shares of the Issuer owned beneficially by Mr. Schwartz other than the Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Schwartz through the beneficial ownership of Onex. To the best knowledge of Mr. Schwartz, no person other than Mr. Schwartz or Onex has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, more than 5% of the Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by Onex.

        (e) Not applicable.

        AMENDMENT

        Sections (a) and (b) of Item 5 are restated to read in their entirety as follows:

        (a) and (b). Mr. Schwartz is the indirect holder of all the issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares of Onex, which are entitled to elect sixty percent (60%) of the members of Onex's Board of Directors and carry such number of votes in the aggregate as represents 60% of the aggregate votes attached to all voting shares of Onex, and Mr. Schwartz is thus an indirect beneficial owner of the shares reported. As of the date hereof, Onex beneficially owns 32,777,273 Subordinate Voting Shares of the Issuer, including (i) 2,925,643 Subordinate Voting Shares and (ii) 29,851,630 Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares of the Issuer; each Multiple Voting Share is currently convertible into one Subordinate Voting Share. Of the Multiple Voting Shares owned beneficially by Onex, 2,421,638 are held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex and 1,757,467 may be delivered, at the Onex Entities' option, to satisfy the obligations under the equity forward sale agreements with Merrill Lynch Canada, Inc. and the Bank of Nova Scotia. Of the Subordinate Voting Shares beneficially owned by Onex, 917,361 are held in trust for Celestica Employee Nominee Corporation, as agent for and on behalf of certain executives and employees of the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's employee share purchase and option plans, 33,755 are held by an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex and 225,376 are directly or indirectly held by certain officers and employees of Onex and members of their respective families, which, in each case, Onex has the right to vote.

        In addition to the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Schwartz through the beneficial ownership of Onex, Mr. Schwartz controls a company which owns 188,744 Subordinate Voting Shares. The beneficial ownership of shares by Mr. Schwartz does not include options granted pursuant to certain management investment plans of Onex to acquire 1,077,500 Subordinate Voting Shares; such options do not vest within 60 days of the date of this filing.

        The shares deemed to be owned beneficially by Mr. Schwartz represent approximately 1.6% of the Issuer's Subordinate Voting Shares or 14.6% of the Subordinate Voting Shares giving effect to the conversion of all of the Multiple Voting Shares. Mr. Schwartz has the sole right to vote or to direct the vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, 188,744 Subordinate Voting Shares. Mr. Schwartz shares the voting power and disposition power with Onex with respect to 2,925,643 Subordinate Voting Shares and 29,851,630 Multiple Voting Shares.
