It's a definitive no for three reasons.
One, we took this policy stance because we had to align with the Americans. The Americans put a tariff on Chinese EVs. We are in very sensitive conversations with the Americans around renewing our trade agreement. If we take a different stance with respect to China, our North American trade agreement is at risk, which is a much bigger threat to the Canadian economy.
Two, it's not a fair fight. The Chinese centrally controlled government has put $230 billion U.S. in direct subsidies. They follow a model of scale, dump and destroy. They scale domestic capacity, dump excess capacity around the world and destroy industries in other countries. They've done it with solar panels; they've done it with steel and they're trying to do it with cars.
Last, the federal government has banned TikTok, citing security concerns. In what world would we allow people to drive around in vehicles with cameras and sensors that could be controlled from Beijing when you won't allow people to use a social media platform?
