Thank you for the question.
As it relates to the remissions framework, we want to make sure that the framework aligns Canada's trade policy with the industrial and workforce objectives, including exploring the introduction of a tradable credit system. The initial remissions framework, as the minister noted, was essentially to try to respond to the tariffs that were in place and to ensure that, as we were collecting countertariffs, there would be the opportunity to disburse those funds.
I think the opportunity that now presents itself in the revised auto strategy is to look at a tradable system. A public consultation has been launched, and it is focused on leveraging that framework to reinforce domestic production and attract investment. How can we ensure that there's reward for folks who are making significant investments here and allow that remissions framework to essentially, potentially, allow for their overall production to continue to be exported and imported at reasonable tariffs?
