Well, certainly computer chips seem to be the biggest challenge from a new vehicle stock and supply perspective. Today vehicles require many chips for all of the functions within an automobile, and those chips are in very short supply for many reasons, including where they're produced and the fact that one of the factories burnt down.
In North America we've been slow at being able to source that stuff here, and so we rely on other areas of the world for everything, and so that has dramatically slowed down the production of new vehicles. Today I received word that Ford Motor Company would be idling more plants starting on Monday.
So those things really impact us, and then the other side of that is parts. Parts are sourced, again, throughout the world and those parts roll in.
We saw a bit of a slowdown in accidents amongst vehicles when people stayed home for 90 days and didn't go anywhere, but as people have gone back to driving, those things have resumed, and so we're seeing a big impact in the auto collision sector in which we're unable to get parts to do repairs.
As you know, we're also seeing an impact on being able to get parts to repair and do servicing and things. That impacts companies. It impacts individuals when they're not able to get the vehicles repaired in a timely fashion or to put them back to work or to use them in their personal lives. So it's caused significant issues within the daily lives of Canadians and certainly within our industry.
