John Knubley

Again, I think it's very essential that we are participating in the supply chain, and Flavio Volpe from the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association recognizes that. He said:

...this is great news for our companies and their employees, and we’re confident that the stronger connection with Volkswagen, created through this loan, will help Canadian toolers and parts manufacturers win new business with VW.

That is the objective, to win new business with Volkswagen.
