As someone who has worked in the department for a long time, I can say that our commitment to the auto sector and its unique economic benefits is long-standing. One of the reasons for that support has been the diversified nature of the economic benefits it produces.
When you look at the overall supply chain and the continuous number of small firms that continue to support overall inputs, and you then add in, as per the question from one of your colleagues, some of the new inputs that are going into vehicles, it's simply a very significant force multiplier of economic benefits, jobs and stable production that allows for Canadians to have access to both product but also jobs capacity and overall economic well-being.
Our support for the auto sector is premised on this notion that we need to make sure that we have the capacity to maximize those jobs and that production, and then find the markets where it is best suited and continue to assess the emerging markets that potentially are in some of these areas of comparative advantage.
