We did a lot of work and we met a lot with the workers. I went to Ingersoll, Brampton and Oshawa. I've been in contact with many of the players in the industry. We also met, obviously, with Lana Payne. I have her on speed-dial. She's been very helpful. We both agree that we need to do more to fight for these jobs, because if we don't, there's real traction for these jobs to go south of the border.
We also worked a lot with the premier. He and I speak to each other every two or three days. I've also been in constant contact with Minister Fedeli, because we both want the same thing, which is to protect jobs and, at the same time, create more jobs.
I've been in contact with Honda and Toyota. I've been to Japan, South Korea and Germany to attract more investments in the auto sector. I was in contact again with Bev Goodman at Ford over the weekend. She's the president of Ford Canada. I've met with GM. I've met with Stellantis. I speak to Rob Wildeboer all the time. He's in charge of Martinrea. I was on the phone with Linda Hasenfratz from Linamar over the weekend.
The goal is to understand everybody's position and, based on that, bring a plan that is very pragmatic.
What the industry is facing right now is the U.S. tariffs. At the same time, there's a real industrial revolution happening in the sector. Basically, there are great technologies being developed in China and around the world. We need to make sure that the North American market is not the last market to embrace them, because the rest of the world is modernizing.
How do we do it? That's what we were trying to do. I think we were able to land on a really good plan, which is about supporting auto workers and supporting auto production. At the same time, we want to make sure that there's real research and development and a real adoption of new technologies in order to have a very strong auto sector for the next hundred years.
