Thank you, Chair Carr.
I think there are a lot of areas where we agree. We agree that Canada has the best auto workers in the world, and that is why so many of the contracts, so many of the lines and so many of the projects came here in the first place. We agree that these auto workers need their government to stand up for them.
I believe that we're going to do that. I'm hoping that we do that together, because we know that the driving force in these current challenges is American tariffs. It's not the quality of our workforce, and it's not the types of vehicles that we produce. It's these American tariffs.
I want the auto workers to know that there are supports from government, that this government is fighting for them and that we are investing in the future success of the sector.
I am hoping that in this conversation we certainly hold Stellantis accountable and ensure that it lives up to its promises. Those promises were made by the automakers, and they must uphold them. We're going to work together, I hope, with the Province of Ontario, with our government and with Unifor to fight for those auto workers.
