It's not quite true. As I said in my opening comments, Ford, for example, is adding a thousand jobs. That's above and beyond, by the way, the thousand jobs that were expected to be created as a result of project northern star in Oakville, so a thousand jobs above and beyond that.
Certainly we have some challenges elsewhere. But Ontario is the second largest vehicle-producing jurisdiction in North America, behind only Michigan, with five OEMs and a strong and established cluster of vehicle and parts suppliers. I can tell you we are looking at policies.
I know the AUTO21 group has come forward. I think you, Brian and others have met with them about having policies that would support not just the bigs but also the entire supply chain to ensure that manufacturing is happening across the entirety of the auto footprint in Ontario. We are looking at policies, I can tell you, about how to shift and move forward to support the entirety of the supply chain in the auto sector.
If you look at everything we're doing, the numbers, the sales figures, the export numbers, and what Chrysler, GM, Ford, and others are all saying about the opportunities in Canada because of the Canada-Europe free trade agreement, about using Canada as a launching pad to export their products that are being manufactured in Ontario to the European market—500 million customers for auto parts and cars that are assembled in Ontario—this is a real opportunity for Canada, I think. It gives us a bright horizon to look forward to.
