Welcome, Minister Moore. We're glad to have you back here with us again today. It's disappointing that we weren't able to get you earlier. Now that our purpose has changed, I'm going to focus my questions a little bit differently.
The auto industry continues to be a critically important industry for Canada. Needless to say, we all hear from people in the industry about their challenges. But I have to say, I don't hear you fighting a lot for that industry.
I say that because of the concerns that keep being raised that GM is focusing more and more of their work in Michigan and in Mexico, and less and less in Canada, and the fact that they don't have a model here in Ontario ready to move into 2016. In 2008, with the bailout, they agreed to make sure there was 16% of investment. I believe that was the number. Now apparently it's come down to 15%.
I'd be interested in your comment. That's an important industry for Ontario. I know that you share the same concern. But what are you doing, and what are you prepared to do in the future to insist that GM makes some new investments here in Ontario? I am very concerned. As you know, the jobs that are created in the auto sector are critically important, not just in their direct but their indirect spinoffs. .
What are you planning to do in the next year to make sure that GM is investing and that we're going to have an active auto industry, especially on the GM side?
