You should update them, because I don't think you told them American EVs would be eligible for this subsidy. When I told Canadian auto workers, they were outraged.
You spoke about the Dodge Charger. Do you know how many Dodge Chargers were sold in Canada last year that would be eligible for this? You probably don't, but I do: 600. Six hundred vehicles are going to be eligible in Canada.
Did you also hear that Stellantis is discontinuing its production of the Pacifica EV? They've put out that statement.
The vast majority of these subsidies are going to go to foreign countries, including the United States, whose president has declared war on our auto industry. I don't know how you justify that.
You can change your mind. You can say, “You know what? We made a mistake. American EVs are not eligible until the trade war is over.”
Why won't you do that?
