Thank you, Chair.
Ms. McCuaig-Johnston, my job as a parliamentarian is to protect Canada, not to protect a hostile foreign country. My questions are going to be in regard to the ramifications in Canada from this importation of Chinese electric vehicles.
When you combine the labour cost gaps—89% to 90% of the labour costs in China are paid off with subsidies—with state subsidies and the access to capital that the Chinese have, is it accurate to say that this is not traditional competition for Canada, but a state-backed industrial strategy that Canadian companies simply can't match?
