Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, one of the things [Technical difficulty—Editor] is just getting its clock cleaned when it comes to auto investment. I mean, there has been some investment. We heard, again, the $6-billion figure, but just the other day General Motors announced another battery facility in Michigan and also another plant expansion, which eclipse the entire investment in Canada over the last number of years. I've been pushing for a national auto strategy. Do you not think it's time for a national auto strategy? We are losing our percentage of OEMs. We no longer even have Canadian CEOs based in Canada.
What assurances can you give, outside of this particular situation, if it wasn't valuable enough for the auto sector, that we actually aren't going to have rip-and-ship or become a branch plant for just parts assembly from the United States?
