Thank you for confirming that. There are plans for Brampton that we'll be waiting for.
Our concern as well is from your other comments about the difficulties the Canadian auto sector is facing. In fact, you said, “Canada's competitiveness as an auto manufacturing jurisdiction is rapidly eroding”. Certainly, your comments today would signify that there are concerning events on the horizon. We're not through this yet in Canada. It seems that all your comments, in fact, would confirm that.
What we're concerned about is that this may not be the first of the Stellantis or other companies' job layoffs. We're deeply concerned, and we'll be paying close attention.
However, I want to focus a bit more on that. The job losses to date that we're aware of are: at the GM Oshawa plant, about 700 workers; I believe, at GM in Ingersoll, which was announced recently, about 500 workers lost and 1,200 more uncertain; at Stellantis, 3,000 are uncertain.
The tariffs from the U.S. remain, and now you mentioned the countermeasures that are being applied. At the federal level, they're talking a lot about how, for steel and aluminum, we hope to see a deal. That's great, but there doesn't seem to be as much of a primary focus by the federal government on getting an auto sector deal.
If all things remain the same and we don't get an auto sector deal in the coming months, can you give the committee some insight into where you think the auto sector, and all the jobs that entails, will be in a couple of years?
