You've described Canada as having been put into a race to the bottom on cheap labour by global automakers. We've heard evidence about what that competition looks like in practice in comparable allied markets. We know that BYD, China's largest EV manufacturer, has been credibly accused of seven-day work weeks at its factory in Hungary, with no rest days, shifts of up to 14 hours and wage payments deliberately delayed for months.
Does the government's decision to open our market to vehicles built on that model not accelerate the very race to the bottom that you were speaking about?
