Thanks for confirming that.
This isn't a Canadian problem. This is something happening all around the world. I mentioned this in my previous remarks at a previous committee meeting. We're seeing a hundredfold increase in the United States, in Britain and in many countries in Europe.
I mentioned this also previously in another meeting. The companies you represent—Ford, GM and Stellantis—had profits last year of roughly $45 billion combined, which is $45 thousand million. The question that I had for the witnesses that day, which they were unable to answer—and this is a question I have for you—was this: How much of that is being spent to ensure that the second-largest expense that Canadians have is being protected from theft? How much is being spent? Last year, of that $45 billion, how much was spent in research and development to make cars harder to steal?
