We basically realized during COVID that we had let too many of our industries go to Asia, mainly China, when it came to semiconductors and battery technology. We have to rebuild the supply chain in Canada, and that's what the federal government is trying to accomplish right now.
It's not an easy task, because we've gotten used to getting these made in China. The computers are made in China. The batteries made are in China. The supply chain has been transferred to Asia for decades. To rebuild this is not an easy task, but I think that, if we don't do that, we won't have a manufacturing industry anymore in Canada. To me, this is key to the future of automotive—but also beyond automotive—manufacturing in the country.
