You make very good points.
First of all, on the trade issue, one thing you have to know is that the Government of Canada isn't alone in this fight. All the industry associations involved in the auto sector are spending a great deal of time in Washington, D.C., pointing out that we're their largest customers. Canadian auto dealers and, by extension, Canadian consumers are the largest purchasers of American-made vehicles. That's bigger than the next three countries—China, Mexico and Germany—combined.
We've made this point state by state—for example, to congressional leaders in Indiana. Instead of a Subaru being built in Indiana and going over the Canadian border, spec'd for the North American market, Japan is now sending those same Subarus to Calgary. How does that help Indiana? How does that help this integrated supply chain? I can tell you that behind the scenes, I hear very good things from both sides of the aisle in Congress. It's breaking into the public that's a problem.
The second thing we did was work very hard with the National Automobile Dealers Association in the States. During the first Trump administration, they ran a campaign with us on auto tariffs being bad for the car business, bad for consumers and bad for the economies on both sides of the border. They're now engaged with several other associations in delivering an anti-tariff message to the White House, so there are glimmers of hope down there.
On the truck and trade issue, all the truck manufacturers are united over the lack of compliance I spoke about in my remarks. Those compliance certificates that can't be issued anymore for the 2027 model year should be removed so we can get trucks flowing from the U.S. Ninety-five per cent of the heavy trucks that are sold in Canada are U.S.-made. It is a challenge, for sure.
