Thank you, Dominique. I think it's important for auto workers to understand that we know there's anxiety out there, that they're dealing with unfair tariffs of 25% against the auto industry and that we are at a pivotal moment when we need to fight for every single job. That's why the decision by Stellantis to move production of the Jeep Compass from Brampton to Illinois was completely unacceptable. It was not only against the binding legal obligations to the Government of Canada. It was also happening at a time when there are negotiations ongoing. We thought it was completely unacceptable that the decision was taken. That decision was so important for the rest of the auto sector. That's why it is not a time to do politics. We need to act as one Canadian team because it's the future of the auto sector that is at stake.
That is why I've been in contact with all the CEOs of all the different Canadian companies here and also with the labour unions, and why I'm on speed-dial with Vic Fedeli, the Minister of Economic Development in Ontario. It's the very backbone of the Ontario economy that is at stake. If we don't fight for all these jobs and for the auto industry, it will have an impact, yes, on Ontario, but, as a Quebecker, I very much understand that it will have an impact on the rest of the country.
It is not usual for the Minister of Industry to be working so closely with the labour movement, such as Unifor, because my job is, technically, to work with the private sector and to be there to defend their interests. However, now our interests are completely aligned, because not only are we fighting for the Brampton workers, but we're fighting for the auto parts companies in the sector, all the SMEs and all of the supply chain. It's the future of the auto sector that is at stake. That's the position of the government, and you can count on me to make sure that we fight for these jobs.
